When Ernest returned later that evening, he heard the news about the incident that afternoon. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard Anastasia's clever story. Back then, the Queen Mother and the King had wanted to force her back to the palace by creating a scene.
"Ensure this news remains within the residence," Ernest said after thinking for a while.
"My Lord, this is the best opportunity to clear Lady Anastasia's name," the steward said, surprised by Ernest's decision. Yesterday, he had instructed the servants to care for Lady Anastasia, so they all believed he loved her very much. Now, he was throwing away the chance to clear her name for good.
"I want to clear my wife's name, of course, but we must think of the King. He is marrying Lady Elizabeth. If we ruin her reputation, it might also affect the King. His throne is not stable now," Ernest replied with a tired smile.
"Then, should we find a way to send word to the King?" the steward asked.
