"Welcome back, Lady Collins. And welcome Princess Alana," Florence greeted the two.
"The princess will be living on the estate from now on. Give her the large guest room in the left wing and see what she needs. Dresses, shoes, or jewels. I shall take care of it. You should take maids and join her to get settled in," Scarlet ordered, deciding to do work while everyone helped Alana.
As Scarlet stepped further into the front door, she noticed a bouquet of white orchids. "Why haven't you burned that bouquet?"Β
"I thought that I shouldn't because of the sender. The card says Ian Kingsley. Should I still burn it?" Florence asked, secretly excited about the decision Scarlet would make.Β
Scarlet stared at the bouquet, curious as to why Ian sent her flowers when he had noted she was tired of receiving them. Instead of giving an answer, Scarlet walked to where the bouquet was placed and picked out the card.
'Tea?' It was a simple message.
