"Scarlet wait!" Madilyn called, getting to her feet to stop the two. Scarlet had just arrived and yet there was this big fight causing the princess to leave. "You don't need to leave yet before I have the chance to properly speak with you and it's wrong for you to leave after just arriving."
"I can visit the palace another day to speak with you, Your Majesty. Unfortunately, my mood is already ruined and should I sit back down, my presence will make the others uncomfortable. Your friend looks ready to question me again," Scarlet said, speaking of Holly.
Was Holly just a curious little thing or was she speaking on behalf of the queen?
Though Scarlet didn't dislike Madilyn, the queen was sometimes a bother. When Madilyn faced troubles with the king, she liked to turn attention from her to someone else. Right now, that someone else was Scarlet and her divorce.Β
