"Do you love him that much?" the Empress asked gently as she held her daughter in her arms.
The Princess froze like a dried up fruit as she went rigid from the question.
It kept ringing in her head severally, trying to confirm if she heard right or if the emotions had begun to affect her hearing as well.
The tears stopped and she pulled away from her mother to look up at her with her stunned green eyes.
"Do you love him that much that you are crying your eyes out like this? Just for him?" the Empress asked as she tucked her hand behind her ear.
"I-I don't understand what you are talking about, Mother," the Princess turned away and cleaned the tears off her face.
She didn't how or where the question came from but it made her confused.
Did she mean Master Filen? Because that should be the only person she would be talking about, there was no way her mother would know...right?
