"Make sure you don't break anything" Queen Valeria instructed. It would soon be evening. She decided to follow grandmother's instructions. She hoped it works. If the Emperor gets more angry…she wouldn't forgive herself. Never!
The servants were still decorating the room. The bed was dressed in a white and red sheet. She wondered if the emperor will lay on it. He was so hurt that he might yell at her if he doesn't want to.
Queen Valeria picked a few roses from the garden and placed them in the vase on the table. She wanted everything time look perfect before tonight.
"Make sure you inform the musicians. They should be here before the sun sets" She told her personal maid. There was so much to do before night comes. It was good that Heather fell asleep. She needed time to take care of things.
The harem was quiet as a grave. Nobody was interested in entertainment. Queen Ariadne's lies saddened everyone. Mother was lying in her sick bed.
