Emperor Sargon's POV.
"You shouldn't have passed a quick judgment like that, my child" she coughed again.
"Mother, Queen Ariadne has betrayed my trust in her. There was no way, I could have forgiven her" I said.
"Did you investigate?"
"Yes, I did. I went in disguise and found out there was a man with the name, Evelyn mentioned. Also, the people that came for the Ball, said they saw a woman with the same description the guards gave, on their way to the palace" I explained to her. Mother was not ready to believe the truth. She had so much trust, love, and respect for Queen Ariadne, and she did disappoint her. Looking at her condition, it was obvious that, the damages were done to my mother than I.
"I don't still believe Ariadne can do such a promiscuous act, my daughter isn't like that" She cried. Mother was already broken after I narrated everything that happened in the court three days ago.
