Yara Amiel returned straight to the palace but by the time she reached there, the sun almost set. Her brother who patrolled around the capital with his guards had also long returned.
The Princess was alone in her room when the wife of her brother, Queen Helen Amiel came to her. However, lost in her thoughts, Princess Yara blankly stared out of the window and she didn't even hear the sound of the knocking on her door.
"Yara."
She flinched and quickly turned around when she heard the voice of the Queen. Then she forced a little smile. "Sister-in-law," she muttered and walked to her.
"I heard that you haven't come out since you return from the forest and it's already time for dinner. Is something wrong?" the Queen asked her in a calm voice.
Queen Helen and King Malon have liked each other ever since they were young and the Queen spent a lot of time with the royal family since childhood. So, she knew everything about the Princess and her double life even before she married the King.
