Fragrantia had already sat down beside him, she took out the bread and jam from the basket and said, "Your mother, liked this jam and bread a lot when she was a child. All the lily-scented jam was for her to eat in the house."
Valerian heard her but he did not turn his head and kept staring down at the ground. The Empress understood and said, "Your grandmother passed away in childbirth. Flos grew up alone, but our father loved her. When she was five years old, my mother married her father and then I was born.
For all the time I have spent with Flos, I can say, that she was a carefree and loving person, she pampered me a lot. My mother was not good to her though. So, after our father was assassinated, the first talk was to arrange a wedding for her. The candidate was Libra. However, Flos loved Divinus, the strongest mage of the city. So, she left and I was made to marry Libra.
