Chapter 109 Deadly night 2

Slowly, Margaret released her hand from Amanda's mouth and in fear, Amanda stood up from the bed and followed the queen outside.

Still, Mira followed. She was yet to understand what was going on. She had so many questions to ask but she didn't think of a reason why her mother was holding a knife and leading a maiden away. When the duo was inside, Mira could sense the fear in Amanda's eye. Maybe she had offended her mother and her mother was trying to discipline her. Her mother was a no-nonsense woman after all, she thought. But the knife... There was just no explanation for that. Well she could only find out if she treaded carefully.

Mira followed quietly and swiftly from behind until they all found themselves outside, in the garden.

At least, it was going to be easier for her to hide and watch whatever that was going on since there were lots of flowers and trees that could act as a covering. And yes, it was night so there was no way that she would be seen.
