"Mother, I knew that girl was ungrateful. I should have killed her," Duchess Anita complained to her mother. She had just finished recounting her conversation with Anastasia to Lady Robert.
Lady Robert smiled. She was not surprised by the outcome. She had warned her daughter about Elizabeth's behavior, but neither mother nor daughter had listened.
Back then, if Elizabeth had properly apologized and accepted her mistake, Anastasia would not have had an excuse. Moreover, Anastasia had already allowed Isabel to join her court. This was a good sign for the Robert family. They had no reason to be at odds with Anastasia.

"Mother!" Duchess Anita exclaimed. She hadn't expected such a conclusion from her mother.
"I warned you back then. You were the one who spoiled your daughter. Even if I wanted to help, she has already become queen. What can either of our families do?" Lady Robert asked.
