Warm Fire

Martha returned to the Queen’s chamber after passing her order to the head servant of the castle. She had initially thought about directly going to the kitchen and coming along with the Queen’s lunch.

However, after witnessing what the Queen went through just a while ago in the bathroom, her heart was restless. She first wanted to go back to the chambers and make sure that the Queen was doing okay.

“Martha, yes, come in.”

Martha heard the Queen’s frail voice from behind the door after she knocked.

The moment the Queen saw Martha, she asked, “Did you deliver my message to Percy?”

Martha gave a nod and replied, “Yes. He personally left for Silver Keep to fetch all the herbs. I will prepare the tonic as soon as Mr. Percy returns.”

Anastasia nodded drowsily.

Noticing that the Queen was feeling sleepy, Martha immediately asked, “Your Majesty, shall I bring lunch for you? You may take an afternoon nap after eating something.”
