"Alright. Alright," Ferdinand gently settled her to the couch. "I'll be by the door. Tell me when you're ready."
When Ferdinand got out, Blanca entered with a wet cloth and a basin of water.
Arabella realized Ferdinand had already summoned one of her maids while she was crying.
"Your Majesty, what happened?! Did you have a fight?!" Blanca asked in concern as she helped her clean up.
[Why would Her Majesty cry to this extent?! What did they fight about?]
"No, it's not like that. Ferdinand and I were just talking when I recalled something about the past," Arabella clarified.
"Oh, I see…" Blanca sighed in relief and did not pry further.
"More importantly, how's Alwin?" Arabella diverted the topic.
She hadn't visited Alwin today yet, so she did not know how he was faring.
Blanca, whom Arabella had exempted from her tasks so the former could personally take care of Alwin, must have been by his side all day until she was summoned.
