When Adeline was leaving the camera room, Stella informed her someone wanted to see her in the Queen's drawing-room.
Adeline didn't know what room that was until she was led there, and realized it was the room that she and Lydia first sat in. Blinking in surprise, the realization settled into her. Wouldn't that mean Elias had already allowed her to use this room before she became Queen?
"Addy!" Lydia gushed, instantly standing up when the doors opened. She tossed the magazine aside and rushed forward, arms open as she quickly pulled the Queen into a tight embrace.
"I've missed you sooo much," Lydia added on, hugging Adeline for a few more seconds, refusing to let go.
"We saw each other two days ago," Adeline laughed, patting her friend on the back.
Then, Adeline's gaze landed on Asher, who seemed to be the leader of the bodyguards. He stood in the corner of the room, his attention focused solely on Lydia. He didn't even look in her direction.
