The Author's POV.
Queen Ariadne's POV.
I went back to my room. Anne was waiting for me as usual. She wanted to take Arya to school. The sad look on my face made her worried.
"My lady, what happened in the dining room? Since you came back your mood changed."
"Why won't my mood change Anne? Everyone choose to annoy me today" I sat on the long sofa in my room. The peeking of the sun made the room brighter. "I am becoming jealous like Queen Valeria."
"How? Who are you jealous of this time ?" She asked, carrying Arya's bag. I was glad she was not in the room.
"Marlena. The Emperor called her to his private chamber this morning. Only the gods know what is going in there" I told her. "At the dining, he was concerned about her. He is losing interest in me just like Queen Valeria had said."
Anne sighed and came to where I sat "Don't think about these things my Lady. The Emperor loves you only. Don't allow queen Valeria's words to get into you."
