Welma walked up the stairs and was astounded by the number of guards that lined the hallway. She had met a few of them at the entrance of the crown prince's wing and had been asked her name. Welma had given it to them without much thought, but now that she was on Rose's floor, she understood just how serious it was.
She was only here because she had been told the sisters were taking too long after serving Rose lunch. There was also a change in the crown prince's wing and only certain servants were allowed in. The way the servant had phrased the message was almost like Welma was expected to go to confirm this, and not just because the sisters were taking too long.
Welma wondered if the Queen had heard about this or if she was supposed to report it. Her relationship with the ladies-in-waiting had been a little strained since the incident with the Lord.
