Renee reluctantly left the room with Helena. There was nothing she could do at the moment to stop Tabitha from being alone with Hazel as she still had to follow the queen's order in the palace. Her ears would be glued to the door for anything that sounded off.
Tabitha waited for the maid to join in exiting the room to then turn back to Hazel. "Why is there only one maid aiding you? It is an important day where you should have many people helping."
"They helped with putting on the dress and doing my hair. I didn't need them for the more simple task Mary could do. I am ready," said Hazel, peering down at the dress.

Hazel was yet to shake the maids bestowed upon her months ago and only had Mary to trust. Just a few more days and then she would get rid of the maids she had now to put together a group of people she trusted.
