Merylin wanted to protest but I did not give her the time to. I moved to the washing alone before taking my clothes off and just as I was left in my chemise the ladies in waiting entered.
Once I was ready to go out I moved to wear the cabinet for the jewellry were. There was the Crown that was presented to me by Chiara.
"Place this in a box very carefully," I told Dorothy.
"But this was given to you!" Merilyn objected. "If you give this back then this would convey that you do not like the person especially when you are going to be the future queen."
I knew that. I also knew what I was doing but this was important because this was the only thing I could use as leverage.
Dorothy placed it in a box and I supervised. "Give it to me," I said once she played the cover of the box, caging the crown in.
