The atmosphere turned completely silent, even ten minutes after Queen Elara left Emmelyn's room. No one made a sound. No one moved.
"Uhm .. That was ... my mother," said Mars in an awkward voice, breaking the silence.
Emmelyn was finally moved from her daze and immediately pushed Mars's body from on top of her.
"Gosh!! I don't want to see your mother .. How could I have the face to see her after what happened just now????" blurted Emmelyn, covering her face. "No. I refuse to go."
Oh my God .. what did just happen? The queen of Draec Kingdom caught Emmelyn sleeping with her son?
Emmelyn's mind drifted to the event several years ago when her mother caught her older brother sleeping with a maid when he was 17 years old. Jeez ....
Emmelyn remembered how the incident created an uproar in the palace. The royal family became the source of gossip and ridicule for months. The nobles talked about the embarrassing incident at parties and social events.
