Why was this wench taking so much time in drinking the wine? It should have gone smoothly.

"What if you have to face other consequences, are you sure you will still not regret it?" Melia frowned. A bit agitated by her tardiness and anxiousness, she nodded her head hurriedly.

"I have been taking care of the palace for a long time, my lady. You need not worry about small things. I will handle everything." as long as you are gone!' she added in her heart as she smiled at Ana who sighed.

She picked up the glass and placed it near her lips. Melia grinned, her smile widening but it froze when Ana paused again and stared at her twinkling eyes.
