Clancy was shocked at Beatrice's show of public affection towards her. She was happy, but surprised to see that she had been found. Princess Beatrice was hugging her as if she hadn't seen her in weeks instead of hours. She saw the servants as well as Prince William looking on quizzically. She cleared her throat to get her Majesty's attention.
Instead of letting go, she let out a long, satisfied sigh and continued to hold on to Clancy for a few seconds longer then she let go.
She whispered then, "Please, take me to my chambers."
She looked at Clancy.
Clancy knew something was off. "Yes, Your Majesty right away." She helped her walk down the hall towards the grand staircase, she turned then. "Many thanks, Sir William." She called out.
