Victoria began to fold the clothing Miss Florence had taken out of storage for her. But as soon as Miss Florence noticed this she swatted Victoria's hands away making her frown as Miss Florence took the blanket from her.
"You don't have to do this your majesty." Miss Florence said placing the blanket in a wicker basket that was placed upon the bed.
"I want to help Miss Florence. This is for the benefit of the house." Victoria said and Miss Florence picked up a little onesie folding it neatly placing it in the same basket.
"You are the Queen remember , leave these types of jobs to us." Miss Florence said and Victoria shook her head.
" Just because there is a crown and a title hanging over my head , it doesn't mean I am any different to you." Victoria said taking the blanket from the pile making Miss Florence roll her eyes.
"It does mean exactly that your majesty." Miss Florence said and placed another onesie in the basket.
"Not so long ago was I doing the same job as you." Victoria states and Miss Florence smiled as she passed her the neatly folded blanket to place it in the basket.
"But you were lucky enough to become Queen , so start acting like it." Miss Florence states going to the cupboard taking out one more pile of clothes and blankets.
"I still do not know how to act like a Queen." Victoria says and Miss Florence sighs turning her gaze towards her.
"You focus on yourself , your family and your kingdom and everyone else will make sure you can do so." Miss Florence states and Victoria smiles and nods
"If you say so Miss Florence. I shall start by making sure the north wall gets rebuilt quickly and efficiently." Victoria stands up and picks up the basket
"That does not mean you build the wall yourself your highness." Miss Florence states and Victoria laughed
"I will leave that up to the professionals dear Florence." Victoria answers and heads to the door with the basket in her arms.
Miss Florence opens the door for Victoria as they take the basket down to the laundry room to make sure that the clothes and blankets were as fresh and clean as they could ever be. Mr Gillingham and the rest of the servers were making batches and batches of shortbread biscuits to contribute to the fund for the new north wall. While Francis sat in his office with a few of his closets servants and the military to plan the fair that all of these items will be sold at so that the people could benefit from it also. As Miss Florence washed each item of clothing , Victoria placed them on the drying line and Miss Taylor took the dry items of the line and wrapped them in twine finishing it off with a little bow to make the items look special. As the sun set everything was ready for the fair tomorrow and Victoria could not wait.
