Reason ???: The Ball (8)

But then the Queen says, "I do not blame you for my son's death, Miss Ivy.

Then the Queen continue to deliver her message in a soft and humble tone.

The reason why I wanted to meet you alone is so that I can personally thank you for what you have done for my grandchild and us."

"T-thank me?" The girl asked confusedly, but before she was able to respond, the Queen suddenly kneeled in front of her.

"Your Majesty!" The young girl immediately rushes over to support, but the Queen stopped her and said, "Wait. Please allow me to say what I have to say first."
