"Speak to your mother and do not ignore my words, Liam." Queen Serena glared at him.
"Is... is this about you marrying father?" Julian tried to guess and received another hint of pain as Queen Serena's grasp dug even further.
"I love him. I love your father and I love you," Queen Serena started to babble as she gazed at him. "You're my son, my flesh and blood… so, of course, I love you. But why do you have to make me grieve?"
"I-I'm sorry, mother." Julian tried to say but it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Whatever occasion he was in, Julian was more than ready to get himself out of any mess. He had a good head on his shoulders when it came to danger and such.
However, Julian didn't want to hurt the queen. It was not simply because he was afraid of what might happen to him if he accidentally hurt a member of the royal family of Verona, but also because he didn't wish to hurt someone who was weaker than him.
