The handmaiden was listening for a moment before she was raising her voice above them and was telling them that it was time to quiet it down. "I am grateful Lady Caly didn't return to listen to this squabbling - she already has enough on her plate as it is. People pressing her to get married, taking in an enemy king to protect them, walking into a war with the mad king, and now to top it all off - her father, the former king, has drawn his last breath." With that she was looking towards them both before she was speaking, "I am certain the whole castle heard your argument. Abby if you wish to return to being trapped below and a slave then do so. Robert if you wish to remain here and stay free, then do so. You are both adults you can both make your own separate decisions." she was speaking in a firm voice after she got them both to quiet down.
