“Why do the two of you look so scared?”
Martha looked down and replied in a little shaken voice, “It’s nothing, Your Majesty.” She swiftly tugged Holly’s trembling arm and asked, “Holly, we have work to do. Let’s go.”
The two of them quickly turned around and began to stride towards the stairs.
However, Anastasia got up from her chair and asked, “No, wait.”
She ran and stood in front of the two of them and asked in a soft voice, “Is something bothering you two? Does it have something to do with that maid who tried to poison me?”
Martha and Holly kept on looking down without answering the Queen.
Anastasia lightly held Holly’s trembling hand and asked, “Or did some vampires scold you for what happened yesterday? You can tell me everything. If someone has been threatening you two, then I can help. It wasn’t your fault that I got too excited about the food and fell into the trap.”
