Anwen made Dan stop and then looked down dejectedly.
Trish steered his horse closer to the girl’s. “The king will be fine. Don’t worry too much. This has often happened. The king will wake up soon,” he said comfortingly.
Anwen was silent. The cold air made her face feel stiff.
“Are you worried that the king’s illness will make the palace council strip him of his position and propose you as his successor?”
Trish really understood the girl’s way of thinking. Actually, this was not the first time this situation had happened. Two years after Rose’s death, the palace council wanted to strip Rion from his position because he couldn’t lead the kingdom in a state of depression. Then, they proposed Anwen as the queen, but it failed because the girl was still too young at that time, so Cristela held the kingdom's affairs temporarily.
Now Cristela was already old. Besides, the case that ensnared her destroyed her reputation.
