After walking through the Eastern Wing for a while, the three women finally arrived at their destination. Moira opened the doors and invited Kiara and Scarlett inside, but the moment Scarlett stepped across the threshold, she stopped in surprise.
The room was enormous.
She had expected a spacious bedroom, perhaps with a few adjoining rooms, but what greeted her looked more like a reception hall. Several sofas were arranged around low tables, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and paintings covered much of the wall space. The furniture was elegant, and the room had enough space to accommodate a gathering of guests without feeling crowded.
Yet there wasn't a single bed in sight.
Scarlett glanced around once more, then looked at Moira. "Is this really our suite?"
Moira smiled at her reaction. "Yes. This is the reception room. The Late Dowager Empress used to receive guests here, so it was designed to be spacious enough for visitors to sit and talk comfortably."
