"Wake up,"

Once the queen and Ivan left the dining room, they headed for the special servant's quarters in the main palace building, where they knew Beth would be resting after the day's torture. 

The Queen turned to the guards who were following them; "You're dismissed for the night," she said before turning to Luciana, "You too," she said, hurting Luciana's feelings once again as she turned to her husband, who nodded his head for her to leave. Not having any other choice, Luciana walked away, leaving the mother and son. 

 

"I guess we were worried for nothing," Ivan said once he was alone with his mother, and she nodded.

 

"Still, we should keep an eye on him. And you should try to be careful and stop goading him," the Queen warned as she led the way to Beth's chamber.
