“Where’s the Queen?” Charlotte asked coming into the queen’s boudoir.

Lady Bathilide looked up surprised. “Oh she stepped out for a moment.”

“Oh?” Charlotte asked.

“Yes,” Bathilide snapped.

Charlotte stepped back a fraction. “I was only inquiring, Bathilide.”

“Well you inquire far too much,” Bathilide said putting her hand to her forehead. “I am the Queen’s Lady of the Bedchamber.”

“I wasn’t trying to start anything,” Charlotte said.

Bathilide opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by feminine laughter followed by a man’s voice.

Charlotte’s mouth opened in surprise.

“Bathilide?”

Bathilide shushed her.

“Bathilide this can’t be happening,” Charlotte said clearly shocked.

“You didn’t hear anything,” Bathilide said pushing Charlotte’s towards the door.

“Bathilide, what if you’re caught? What if she’s caught? Bathilide!”

“You weren’t here!” Bathilide pushed her roughly out the door and slammed it in her face.

“Oh sweet Bronde!” Charlotte exclaimed. She needed to leave. She had to speak with her husband right away. She had to tell him. She needed to leave the Queen’s employ or else she feared a repeat of what had happened some nine years ago.
