The reason that Samsul hadn't told her of his feelings earlier was because he didn't know what they truly were until he saw her dancing with George. His emotions truly surfaced as he heard the king speak about touring Greenspring with Anastasia. He didn't want for the queen to be doing that with a man she only knew so much about. He wanted for him to be in George's spot during the trip, and he constantly thought of his wife to be while he was stuck in the castle.

He smiled back at Anastasia and gave her a small kiss. "I missed you as well, Anastasia. I was always so happy to receive your letters about your travels."
