Oriana helped Freya stand from the bathtub and then covered her with a towel, trying to calm her own nerves in the process.
"Is everything okay?" Freya asked, stepping out of the water. "Did I do something wrong?"
Oriana shook her head and smiled. "You did nothing wrong. I was just worried that something might have happened to you while I was away," she replied, leading the girl back inside the room.
"Something?" Freya repeated. "Did anything happen?"
Oriana walked to her closet, searching for a dress that would be Freya's size. "Yes, the King was attacked."
"The King? Attacked?" Freya asked, shocked by the news. "If the King could be attacked in the palace, it means nobody is safe."
Oriana raised a peach dress that looked undersized but would fit Freya. She turned to look at the girl. "You're right. No one is safe." She handed the dress to her.
