The Author's POV.
Days passed by, but Queen mother Daria did not let him out of the palace. She gave him a lot of work to do. Stefan was asked to train the soldiers in the morning and when it's afternoon, he taught beginners how to throw a spear. In the evening, he would preside over few cases and go to bed very late.
She was doing this to keep him away from Angelina. At a point, she succeeded because, ever since that night he spent with her , Stefan was not able to see her again.
He sent letters to Angelina telling him of his new duties and how much he missed her.
She did not reply any one of them but the messenger said, she was very happy after reading them.
Today, Stefan was asked to talk to the villagers concerning the increase in taxes. He wondered how he was going to explain to them.
