CHAPTER 380
Queen Aelinor suffered, yet she still stood strong for the kingdom as her duty was to her people. They needed a ruler and she was there standing side by side her husband even though all wasn't so well in her own home, but not once did she falter.
"Why?" Regin asked his daughter, bringing down his head to stare at the young chip who was her mother's protégé.
"I admire how well you two have stood strong till now. And I am grateful for having you two as my parents."
"We are proud of all of you, no matter what."
"Thanks, papa."
"That's my girl. So, that brings me to my one question. Has any of the young men caught your fancy?"
Avery thought for some time before answering her father's question. "Umm… not really."
King Regin was shocked that she would lie to him so blatantly. "And who do you think you are lying to, young lady?"
"No one."
