The silence that had been hanging heavily in the room broke into murmurs. The Vizier ordered the guards,
"Take her to the underground dungeon and clean this up."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The guards responded.
King William then turned to look at his guests with a smile and said, "Let us move to another room to continue the celebration."
Anastasia couldn't move from where she stood, as it wasn't far from where Charlotte had been beheaded. Shock had overcome her body, and her mind was frozen. She knew the Blackthorns were cruel and heartless, but they had taken someone's life at the thought of them insulting their family.
The murmurs of the guests turned into chatter as they started to make their way out of the room. While some were speechless over what just happened, most didn't care and went back to conversing.
"That's what happens when you meddle with the royal family. It serves the lowly maid right to think that she could get away with such atrocious behaviour," one of the nearby guests remarked.
"Did she draw it purposely?" Someone else asked. "Perhaps she didn't know how to draw in the first place?"
"But she drew Queen Sophia just like she wanted it. It was definitely on purpose!" Another remark came.
