Three years passed in negotiations. Jerome wasn't heartless. He'd send her pictures and videos of her. Pictures of her laughing, pouting, her angry face... Everything.
She should have felt content, but on the contrary, she wanted to meet the girl in person. The girl who grew up more and more to look like her daughter. She is already in her eighties. Time is not something she had and so she did something she never did before - she begged.
'Please, let me see her and talk to her before I'm buried'
She could feel Jerome's heart wavering. After her sixteenth birthday, Jerome fixed the date even. But the unexpected happened.
That child killed her Knight.
The Rosandale Royal Court panicked. They said she cannot be announced as their Princess anymore and that it is not wise for the Dowager to meet a murderer.
Ha! Were you ever willing to let me meet her? You lot only find reasons for me not to meet her!
