Embarrassment of Public Accusation

[Margaret's Perspective]

"That's none of your business," I retorted.

"I'm concerned about you." Elizabeth stood up and looked down at me. "You should be guarding your own gate, not waiting for someone to pry it open."

I had to say that after Elizabeth returned to her normal state, it was even more of a headache.

I waved my hand, not wanting to continue this conversation with her.

Elizabeth snorted and stood up to walk over to Anthony's side again. I saw the people on Donald's side disperse a little and Elliot walked in our direction. I guessed they were done talking. I stood up and dusted myself off, expecting Elliot to tell me something about what had happened.

"His Majesty asked me to send you back first," Elliot said.

I felt a little disappointed by this and asked, "Isn't he coming back with us?"

"His Majesty has business to attend to," Elliot replied.
