"You are making me a little nervous, Lady Beatrice. Is something wrong?" Mavis asked, fearing the worst since Annalise was involved.
"Oh, no no. There are just a few changes I think my son should get out of the way instead of putting it off, but he is so distracted by all the knights coming inside. He is so busy that I didn't get to see him when I woke up. It is nothing bad," Beatrice promised, watching Rafael walk to them.
Beatrice also wanted the announcement done in her presence because she wanted to talk to the maids. She knew just what would happen after Rafael revealed Annalise's change in status.
The maids would start gossiping right away, trying to piece together when Annalise started to be with Rafael as more than just a maid. Some would taunt her for being successful in getting a man like Rafael and no longer having to work.
