Magnus has been sitting in the garden with the empress for almost an hour talking and drinking coffee. She was so lovely to him and seriously treated him as if he was her son and not just some random brodalisque in this palace which is why he lost the track of time while talking to her, but after that hour Chantal had to leave because she said she was busy.
This is why Magnus was left alone in the garden smiling happily after spending this short time with someone who reminded him of his mother before Sylvia and Simon come rushing to him " Magnus why was the empress talking to you? We were standing there waiting for her majesty to leave before we come to you so don't ask why we are late."
" I was there and she asked me to come to sit with her and talk. I don't know why." Magnus answered Silvia's question as he watched both of the siblings walking toward him to sit next to him "About what?"
