King Edward was forced to swallow whatever words were at the tip of his tongue.
"I am in good health. Just now, it was the queen's maid who did not hold the bowl properly," Dorothy said. Hearing that the king would give her justice and thinking of the reassurance in his smile earlier, Dorothy felt confident that he would stand up for her.
As soon as her words fell, Rosa dropped to her knees.
"Your Majesty knows me well. I have served you since you were a child. Although I cannot claim to be without fault, I would never lie. If it was indeed my mistake just now, I will acknowledge it and apologize to Physician Dorothy. Though I was a little anxious because the medicine was delivered so late, how could I not hold the bowl properly? I know how important the medicine is to Your Majesty. As your servant, I care less about my own well-being. Her Majesty must be in good health for His Majesty," Rosa said, beginning to cry, looking pitiful.
