"Your Excellency," Agnes greeted me with a bow.
"Hey there," I greeted back with a nod.
I stepped aside and the staff person pushed the trolley into the room.
"I came to offer my apologies," Agnes began, looking me in the eye. "I was rude to you due to my ignorance." She bowed again, "Please, forgive me."
I tilted my head, "No?"
She shot her head up and gave me a surprised look.
"I mean," I shrugged. "It's not wrong to worry about your dad. And as I said, I wasn't angry. You're looking too deeply into this." I looked inside the room and remembered what I was going to ask the Queen. Josalia's slip of the tongue had made me forget at the time. I turned to Agnes and gave her a smile, then gestured to the room. "Hey, how about we go inside?"
She nodded and came in, "Pardon my intrusion."
I closed the door and walked back to a different table from the one where the staff person was placing food on, then sat down.
Agnes remained standing.
