"You little traitor!" Sophia muttered under her breath.
"What?!" Adeline exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I am not a traitor! I did what I thought was right for the kingdom and for you!"
Sophia crossed her arms and listened, her lips pursed in a mock pout. She exaggeratedly mouthed along with Adeline's words, silently mocking her arguments.
Adeline, frustrated, continued, "I had to make difficult decisions, Her Majesty. Everything I did was to protect you and ensure your pregnancy is going well."
Sophia's eyes rolled dramatically, and she continued to silently mimic Adeline's words, making exaggerated faces.
"Stop that!" Adeline snapped, her patience wearing thin. "You know as well as I do that we all have our roles to play,"
"Whatever."
