A carriage was standing in front of Lillian's quarter. Her servants were loading the Queen's suitcases in the carriage.
Two squads of her guards were getting ready for the travel. Sixteen of them were foot soldiers while four of them were cavalry. All of them had already dressed up in their battle armors. Some of them were checking their weapons while some of them were tending to their horses.
Right then, Prince Edwin's carriage also arrived in front of Lilian's quarter along with a squad of his guards.
Edwin got out of his carriage and went to greet his mother. He stood by Lillian's personal chamber's door and asked, "Mother, are you ready for the journey?"
Lillian was sitting in front of the dressing table when Edwin came. Her maids were giving a final touch-up to her. She glanced towards the door and smiled, "You're here! Yes, I am almost ready. Give me a few seconds."
