Ara and the other ladies moved to the palace where they could speak among themselves. Immediately they reached the room, Eadlin asked, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?"
"No, not yet..." Ara replied softly, she was already starving, however she was trying to reduce her food consumption.
"Hmm, I thought so. I'll tell the maids to bring you something to eat, so please wait here." She stood up, but Ara waved her hands, "Please don't bother, you don't have to." She declined, but Eadlin had already stood up, "Don't worry, I'll be right back."
"Ah, wait for me I'll come with you, your highness!" Mary hurriedly ran after Eadlin.
They soon returned with maids carrying two full trays. Ara who was trying to avoid too much food couldn't help but salivate at the sight of the food, but quickly composed herself, "Eadlin, why did you bring this much food?"
"Brother told me you liked them, so I got them all for you, help yourself, that way you will be healthy."
