King Edward watched his mother leave. He then followed and made his way to Anastasia's bedchamber. Although he had doubts about the situation, he felt it had nothing to do with Anastasia. After all, she had openly stated that she did not want Dorothy's child, as she would be unable to love it.
"Your Majesty," Anastasia was still cleaning up inside when the king arrived. Grater had not expected him to come.
"Has the queen gone to bed?" King Edward asked, seeing Grater standing outside.
"Her Majesty is still cleaning up," Grater replied. Anastasia was used to caring for herself, so when she bathed, she did not require the help of servants.
King Edward paused. He recalled that when his mother bathed, she always needed attendants. He wondered why Anastasia was different.
"Go check if she is done. I will wait," King Edward said, taking a seat in the outer chamber.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Grater responded and went in to inform Anastasia of the king's visit.
