Samsul had barely heard Anastasia as she whispered, but it was just loud enough for him to hear her, especially since he had better hearing than most. He didn't know what to say or do about it, so he simply kept as calm as he could.

Alex left with the other chef soon after Anastasia had thanked her, leaving the king and queen to their own devices.

Samsul turned to Anastasia as she did to him, looking at her with a calm and relaxed expression. He didn't know what to say to her at the moment, so he simply kept quiet as he ate his food slowly. He glanced over at Anastasia every few moments, wondering how she was doing since she was sick. It was good to see her eating, even thought it was most likely going to come back up later on in the day.
