Seeing Clara who Adriana always considered as a little sister crying, she panicked not knowing what to do. Clara and Jessy were fraternal twins, the children of my family's butler and my dear nanny. Nanny was more like my mother than my own, well as a noble she had several other duties but she loved me in her own way.
I know that she was strict towards me considering the fact that me being the youngest and the only daughter who was born when their oldest was about to get married, So, my elder brothers doted on me to the point I was spoiled and believed the world to be all rainbows and sunshine.
The first time I held my sword was when I thought 'Ahh!! so this is what feels like my calling' and yeah, I did many more embarassing things that I don't even want to remember lest I die from embarassment. But more importantly how should I comfort this girl. She crying like she lost her family. Ahh God what do I do with her...
Clara who didn't pay attention to her mistress's internal struggles was crying her heart out thinking that her mistress finally lost it after hearing such hurtful things from the Duke, and how she looked depressed while consuming a huge amount of alcohol like it was nothing the previous night. Nothing Clara or Jessy said could stop her from consuming alcohol until she fell asleep crying.
Nobody knew or heard about what happened between the husband and wife. The only thing they saw was her mistress wallowing in sorrow, and consuming alcohol as if to wash away her sorrows and thoughts. During her days as a mercenary, she always boasted that she drunk alot but never got drunk and that her capacity was huge, well she proved that yesterday and that is more than enough. We can't bare to see that happening again.
Ahh my poor mistress how could she suffer so much, hnng... ahhh...ahh... my poor mistress. Was she so traumatized that she dreamt of her daughter and her being beheaded? That must be it, she must be traumatized. I should get the doctor to check her and see if she can be saved.
While Adriana was trying to calm the hysterically crying Clara, she assessed her situation and went through all the words exchanged between them and the current situation and came to conclusion that she was still alive and kicking and that either she somehow went back in time or everything was but a dream. How else can she explain whatever it was that happened to her?
Adriana calmed down and hugged Clara and said, "Clara I'm thankful but at the same time sorry for making you worry but could you please not cry like that, you look like a mess dear. And how's Annalise right now? I-I-I w-want to see her right now. Please bring me to her. Please." Adriana broke down. Her urge to see her daughter was so strong but at the same time she felt she didn't have the right to see her face.
Clara hugged her back and both comforted each other. Once they calmed down they saw the doctor along with Jessy staring blankly at them at the door. Jessy looked worried, after all seeing the state her mistress was in the previous night was quite worrisome. But it seems she's come out of it.
Jessy looked towards the doctor whom seemed to be struggling whether to diminish his presence and act like nothing happened or to intervene. She didn't know what to say and looked towards her mistress and sister with a mixed expression, happy that her mistress's mood has improved but at the same time sad for her. Looking at the varying expressions on the doctor's as well as Jessy's face, Adriana smiled as if trying to reassure them, but how can a smile that was worse than a cry reassure anyone. Adriana who never cried in front of anyone felt so embarrassed she turned red.
