It took quite some time for Edith to console Anastasia because the emotions which she had been keeping buried in her heart came flowing out all at once.

After letting all her emotions out, Anastasia finally felt a little lighter. But her eyes were now puffy and red, and her lips were a little swollen.

Tilla came forward and asked Edith, “May I know where the bathroom is, milady? I will escort the Queen there.”

“I will come along.” Edith also got up and led them to the nearest bathroom.

Tilla helped Anastasia wash her face and get freshened up.

“I will be right back.” Anastasia dismissed Tilla and locked the door to the bathroom.

Tilla was alone outside with Lady Edith. Tilla kept her head low and asked Edith, “Her Majesty’s tea has gotten cold. May I take it back to the kitchen and bring a hot one? If I let it sit there then she will insist on drinking the cold tea thinking it will be troublesome for the servants.”
