Neither Maria nor Jason made any comment as they started to jog back to the royal sleeping quarters after they had made it into the hallway.
They managed to make it back to Maria's room without being stopped, and once her bedroom door closed, Maria sighed in relief.
There they found Alexandria who had been pacing back and forth pretty much since Maria had left to meet the suitors.
"My Lady! My Lord! Oh goodness, how was it?" the maid frantically asked, looking between the siblings.
"It was quite alright," Jason replied calmly with a smile to calm the old woman's nerves and give his sister time to catch her breath.
"Yes Alexandria, it was fine. You can be excused for the night; I know this has been stressful for all of us," Maria said as she made her way over to the maid to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
