Theodore reappeared in the garden after giving instructions to his maids and followers. "I hope that I did not leave you for long, Your Majesty."
"Oh, not at all. Or at least it didn't feel that way since the garden kept me occupied." King Dragomir smiled while looking at a rose plant. And he reminisced his past. "I used to spend time with Adeline's mother in the Palace's garden. She used to love taking a stroll and sitting down in the garden, especially when she was pregnant with Adeline."
He took a deep breath in and said in a melancholic tone, "It's a pity that she did not get to do that with Adeline. She was mostly weak and bedridden after giving birth to our daughter."
