Queen Ariadne's POV.
A few days later, there was no sight of the emperor. We all became worried. He didn't send a letter to tell us how he was fairing. Mother said it was unusual of him. I prayed that night and asked the creator to protect my husband and bring him back home safely.
I sat down in my room reading some of the poems he wrote to his grandma. Most of them confused me, they spoke about a curse that needed to be undone. I wondered who was cursed in the family.
The Emperor's grandmother lived in a castle outside the empire, they said she was there due to the misunderstanding she had with her grandmother. Many said he hated his Grandmother and tagged her as a "sick woman".
The letters I saw here explained a different thing, I wasn't able to put words together but from the little I gathered, these two loved each other and the relationship they shared was precious to them. But I think Grandmother was cursed that why she was isolated.
