Iria was walking around the royal garden with Queen Lorey. The latter summoned her and said that she wanted to spend some time with her as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Though she wasn't fond of this garden at all, rejecting the Queen would do her no good. So, she went there and just listened to whatever the Queen said.
"You are so quiet, Crown Princess. Are you not interested in my talk or... are you feeling uncomfortable with me?" Queen Lorey Helev said to her in a gentle voice when she kept her silence for a few minutes.
"It's not that, Your Majesty." Iria Alewine promptly said. "I don't know what to say. Besides, I was afraid that I would say something that I shouldn't." She wanted to be alert at all times.
