Edna placed the tray aside and quickly adjusted Rose on the bed. She pulled the covers over her and picked up the tray again. She placed it on the bed, and Rose could see the contents. It was clear to her now why Edna had taken so long.
On the tray were two different plates with more than enough for her to eat. There was also a kettle and a cup, and Rose knew it held the new herbs she was supposed to take.
"I had to bring our dinner," she said, smiling at Rose. "I can't believe you heard that and were worrying. Besides, even if the Queen wanted to punish me, it would be no more than extra chores, and she would have given the order already, whether or not I was still in the Crown Prince's wing."
Rose nodded, feeling herself calm down a bit.
"There, there, there," Edna said, lightly tapping her back. "You don't have time to worry about other people. We need you to get better as fast as possible."
