Since my clothes were ripped, revealing my undergarment, I had to change before we set off. I only realized that when we were by the door and Mildred gave me a surprised look.
The maids who were helping me change were obviously trembling as they carefully took off my clothes until I'm in my chemise. Our audience, who was sitting on the divan, surely intimidated them.
"Your Highness, you may go first. This will take a while," I said, and also wanted to add how awkward it was to change before his presence, but decided not to.
Sam just rolled his eyes. "Nonsense."
I cast the maids an apologetic smile. Poor them. They seemed as if they would lose their lives if they did even the slightest mistake.
