Emily stood still with a stiff expression, staring at the space where Raylen had been standing just moments ago. She swiftly downed both glasses and then set off in search of the powder room. The skin around her neck was still red, and as soon as she located the powder room, she hurriedly slipped inside. 

"Lily, over here," Janelle called from where she was sitting before a mirror, patting the empty seat next to her. "Forgive me for taking such a long time to return. I wanted to fix my hair."

"It's no problem," Emily murmured. 

"Is everything alright?" Janelle inquired with concern in her voice upon noticing the princess's preoccupied demeanour.
