The next morning, Amelie's sleep abruptly broke with the same nightmare that she saw in San Ravendale before coming to the palace.
She took deep breaths while caressing her chest, trying to steady her racing heartbeats.
Turning her head, she saw Gabriel sleeping soundly.
'I need to talk about it with the Queen. But what if... She starts blaming me instead of giving me the answers?' Amelie thought, her heart again palpitating in worry.
Getting quietly out of the bed, Amelie went to the washroom to freshen up and then decided to go for a walk in the royal garden for some time.
As she arrived there, her eyes landed on the Queen. Cold sweat appeared on her palms. 'Why did I have to see Her Majesty in the morning? I should leave quietly before she catches me,' she decided mentally.
However, Mabel had already turned around.
Amelie gulped. She quickly lowered her head in a respectful bow, masking the nervousness in her posture.
