After they returned to the main chamber from the side chamber, Ember noticed the familiar red flowers that were now kept in a vase instead of wrapped with a ribbon.
'The bouquet, I wasn't holding it when I entered my chamber. I even forgot where I lost them.'
Reya noticed Ember's gaze and answered, "Miss, you happened to drop them at the palace entrance when you left with His Majesty in a hurry. I brought them back." She said all these with an expectant beam, as if she was asking to be praised.
'Left in a hurry? Who? I was brought here without my knowledge.'
"Miss, His Majesty sure is a good mate. Today His Majesty did everything for you a male should do for his female."
"Yes, Miss. We are so happy for you."
Ember heard them and thought the same. 'He sure did everything.'
Her servants arranged a small meal for her inside her chamber, but she had no appetite due to all those disturbing thoughts and ate a little.
