Queen Ariadne's POV.
Today, the feast…
There was much noise in the harem . Last night I heard the drums and different music that were played. The women would dance and rejoice as a new member joined the royal family. Making The Emperor's wives one thousand and one. That was a huge number.
I didn't go out no matter how persuasive they were. I was going to stay away from all the activities of the day. Queen Valeria and Grandmother must be laughing at me right now. But I didn't care because when I make my move they will all be crying at a corner.
"Can I see Queen Ariadne ?" I heard mother's voice when Anne opened the door. She made way for her to pass and mother entered the room. I could see the happiness on her face.
"Greetings mother" I stood up from the bed to welcome her. We saw last, two days, probably her coming here was to ask me to forgive the emperor. I might do that, she was my weak point.
