After the little commotion that happened between Bane and Aurelia, the maids served the food as the tension in the room died down slowly.
Aella focused her attention on the meal in front of her as she wanted to eat as much as she could to regain some much-needed strength. She eagerly helped herself to the buttered bread and citron tea.

She looked up slightly at the old lady who was eating slowly with a distant look on her face and her heart instantly ached to see her mother in such a state.
