Linda arrived at the garden and just as Hazel, she was confused as to why she was seated beside the queen. Her family was quite important to the palace, but never had she been seated this far up and right next to the queen. Was it because of her relationship with Hazel?
"You look beautiful," Tabitha greeted Linda. The young woman stood out among her peers.
Since Grant showed interest in getting Linda to be queen, Tabitha made the decision to keep Linda close by. They should get close in case the one marrying Tobias was to change. The wedding was now further away so there was no telling what could happen by then.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you for inviting me to this party," Linda replied.
It was a bit awkward to have the queen speaking to her and not Hazel especially knowing that the queen didn't like Hazel. Linda was starting to feel like she was a pawn to upset Hazel.
