As the concert progressed into the latter part, the guest performers stood on stage, continuing their performance, while Beatrice Hargrave returned backstage to change into her final outfit.
It was a pure white tulle dress adorned with handmade flowers on the bodice, with a train that resembled a wedding gown.
Having changed, Beatrice sat at the makeup mirror, two stylists busily arranging her hair, lifting her long tresses into a high bun adorned with a diamond tiara like a crown.
Although an assistant was bustling around her, Nicholas Croft preferred to personally attend to certain things. Earlier, when Beatrice was singing on stage, he had already prepared the warm water and now brought it over, having ensured it was just right.
The man in a black tuxedo approached the resting bench, handing the thermos cup to Beatrice.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat."
