Princess Ellen chamber
"You should have allowed her to hit me," princess Ellen said once the Queen walked out.
"But my princess your face would have swollen," Grater shook her head.
"I know, that is why I made her angry. What do you think my father will say after he sees my face tomorrow," prince Ellen replied. She had really wanted to use Queen Regina's tricks against her. Unexpectedly Grater has stopped her. Ruining her plans.
"It is wrong to hurt yourself just so you can pull another down," Grater said.
"I understand, but sometimes sacrifice is needed to achieve our aim. It will not be the first time she hit me. Next time do not stop her. No matter what she is a Queen and you are a maid. I do not want you to suffer," princess Ellen said.
"I understand your highness, next time, I will stand in your front and take the hit. Forgive me but I can not stand and watch you get hit," Grater said.
