Queen Ariadne's POV.
Nobody was allowed to entered the kitchen so they told me. Queen Valeria went ahead and locked all the stores, the women had no choice but to look for her ring. I did not go out of my room. I gave Arya all the fruits left. I was not able to leave the palace because of the Emperor's absence. Anne went to the village to get food for us.
"Am hungry mother" Arya finally said. She was quiet the whole the time, trying to be mummy's super girl. Now that she spoke out , I have to go look for food.
"Do not worry strong princess. Anne will soon be back with back with food" I stroked her hair. Poor child , she had not spend up to a week in the palace but she hot the worst torment. Queen Valeria was wicked in action, I was expecting her to exclude the children from this punishment but she did not. No wonder, the creator never gave a child to such people.
