The Curse of Kindness

~ ZARA ~

After a few minutes of ordering the servants in and out to gather items I didn't even recognize at the same time she very carefully folded the gowns Kaitleen had sent, Abigail declared the packing done. Then she turned to face me.

"I really need more time. You will need assistance to dress, so if you would just give me a few minutes, I will gather my own things and accompany—"

But Agatha cut her off with a short shake of her head, and those rolled eyes. "We will be overrun with servants on His Highness's estate. I have no doubt Zara will find a pair of… willing hands to assist her in whatever she requires," she said so dryly, and so clearly meaning David that I began to splutter a laugh and had to cough to cover it.
