Chapter.
Queen Marlena took a deep breath before stepping into the room. She knew that her life depended on whatever she was going to say to her husband.
From the terrible look on his face, she knew that he was his mother's and not the sweet Prince Edward she fell in love with. He was angry with her.
But why? Did he find out the truth?
She was about to greet him when he stopped her. He must have seen the way her lips moved. They trembled so much that they wasted time letting out the words.
"Why didn't you tell me she was leaving?" The angry-looking prince asked. His hands were clasped behind. He meant every word that came out of his lips.
Too afraid to say a word, queen Marlena stared at the bare floor. She wished queen Ariadne would come back and save her from this trouble. If the emperor finds out that age helped his favorite queen to escape…he would surely offer her head to the gods.
