Josephine glanced over towards the young handmaid and smiled, nodding at the offer. "That would be very kind of you." She was just a little bit nervous, but mostly excited and happy. She took a very quick bath, having her hair dried by hand so that it wouldn't get the blankets or pillows wet. She wanted this night to be perfect; a night that she and Raoul would remember forever.<br/><br/>Alyxander wasn't stiff or acting upset; in fact, he seemed more at ease than usual. Once they were out of the dining hall, he pulled Raoul into one of the nearby rooms so that they could speak in private; without any listening ears upon their conversation. He sighed and turned towards Raoul after shutting the door behind them. "Do not worry, I am not going to scold you." He could tell the king was on edge, as if expecting so sort of attack. "I just wanted to speak with you for a moment, before you join with Josephine."
