Lady Rafaela announced Her Majesty's arrival to Lady Runa's chamber. She had tried to persuade Her Majesty to find another solution, even listing Lady Runa's strategic skills that could position this kingdom as a leader among others.
However, Her Majesty was adamant that Lady Runa wasn't a good fit for Prince Henrie. She claimed that with the rumors going around, Lady Runa would only jeopardize the kingdom's operations and future.
But everything was triggered by Queen Emma's act to spread the rumor. She ordered Zara to spread the word, and Lady Rafaela knew that Zara half-heartedly did it. It was another maid in the palace who did an excellent job at it.
Lady Rafaela sincerely wished that Lady Runa had come up with solutions by now like she always did. But when the door to her chamber was opened, Lady Rafaela involuntarily gasped at the sight.
