Amelia courteously smiled, trying not to be suspicious to the other maid. It wasn't public knowledge that she and Theodosia were in a romantic relationship, and the staff members certainly did not know.
"You were able to find someone else. Wonderful." She turned to Theodosia, acting neutral. "I need some help getting out of my coronation gown. Are you ok to help us with that?"
She gave Theodosia a pointed stare, as if to say 'We don't know each other'.
(Sorry for not responding earlier, I've been busy)
She gave a slight nod as if telling Amelia that she understood. She shook her head. "Of course not, your majesty. After all, we're here to help whenever we're needed." The other maid gave her a quick look before she nodded in agreement to Theodosia's statement.
(its ok. ive been really busy lately as well. we're finally getting ready to perform our schools musical (after it was going to be done in like may last year or something, but was stopped cause of covid) so we're fully strapped with rehearsals cause we have our shows in less than a month. and i also start school back in two days, and its grade 12. so im having a really busy month or so, which means i wont respond as i normally would)
Amelia smiled, pleased that Theodosia seemed to understand the messgage and was also willing to help. "Thank you. I suppose that the best place to change my clothes would be in my chambers. It's not far, after all, and it is much more private than a stone corridor."
The maid nodded. "A very good suggestion, my Queen. I can go ahead and sort your change out."
"Thank you. I shall be there shortly."
(I wish you luck on the rehearsals!)
Theodosia watched as the maid walked away. And when she knew she was out of sight and earshot, she let out a sigh. "Well this is interesting," She muttered. She looked at Amelia and smiled. "Well, I should get going. She'll be suspicious..or something if I don't go to help her. I'll see ya shortly." She looked around to see if anyone was around and when she couldn't see anyone, she gave Amelia a quick kiss on the check and ran off.
(thank youuuu. we have two rehearsals left and then the shows. we added another show so now we have five. we have to leave our grade camp early just to get there for the rehearsal on the day of the fiftth show. we're gonna be so tired)
Amelia smiled and blushed when Theodosia kissed her cheek, watching her go. She began to make her way towards her chambers, slow enough so that they had time to sort everything out but fast enough so that it didn't seem like she didn't want their help. It was a fine line, but Amelia somehow always knew how to walk it.
(You're welcome. Hopefully, everything went well :) )
Theodosia opened the door to Amelia's chamber and walked to the other maid. The maid turned around and scolded her for taking so long. "I thought you left. Either way, I got most of it sorted out. It would be lovely if you could help me out on the last part." She said. Theodosia nodded and helped the maid. It wasn't long before Amelia entered the room.
(sorry ive been trying to get on top of schoolwork)
Amelia smiled at Theodosia and the other maid. She took her crown off and placed it on the nightstand, reaching behind and trying to untie the lace-back.
"I'll do it, your majesty," The other maid said, moving forward and starting to untie it.
"Thank you," Amelia replied. "Normally I'd like to do it myself, but it seems that it doesn't want that today."
