Queen Ariadne's POV.
Anne was something else. What she told me today really confused me. This was strange, a man with hundreds of wives had no child? This was no ordinary fallacy, it was serious matter that needed critical thinking to arrive at the reason Or was he impotent? Yes, I remember the women in the kitchen gossiped about some impotent men they married. Maybe that was the case with the Emperor.
There were many mysteries about this family. First, its was a curse, then a witch and now, the man I thought had these children I saw in the Quarters every day was no father! They were all hiding something from me and sooner or later, I will find out what its was.
Not too long she left, Anne came back with my breakfast. Its was potatoes served with hot stew. I didn't eat much because of the problems ahead. I had to talk to my parents immediately.
