Present day in the Eastern Palace.
"I am so sorry your majesty, I tried waking you up last night for dinner, but I didn't put enough efforts." Lara said, as she was almost zoning out. She was pouring Regina a cup of tea and she was extremely tired.
"Why are you swaying like that? Are you tired? Or are you sick perhaps?" Regina asked as she sipped the tea calmly.
Lara was barely even able to understand Regina's question.
"Don't worry Lady Lara, please have a seat." Regina said in a polite tone. "Huh? How could I? I am sorry your majesty!" She said with a shocked expression.
"Oh no there is no need to worry. And I am not offering you a seat for free." Regina explained calmly as she placed her tea cup back on the table.
Lara understood what Regina meant and took the seat in front of her.
"So perhaps you may know what I want to ask, right Lara?", Regina asked.
