I was surprised to hear that name on his lips. Ariadne? One of the women I hated the most in history. She was the favorite wife of the late emperor of Akkad. People talked about her beauty and kindness, which I did not find interesting. They said she cursed me before dying. It was clear why I did not like her.
"Wait, her second name was Ariadne" Azriel explained. He understood my facial expression. I was glad that he was not as lame as prince Charles. "She is older than the late queen I guess she got her name first."
"Sure. She can't be her" I poured tea into the mug by myself. Hope left the room because the maids were asked to wait outside after the first serving. They will come in against but later. "Queen Ariadne never had a child. It is so sad."
"But you don't seem sad" Lord Azriel took his mug up for the first time. I knew he was not going to drink from it immediately. I added milk to mine and lifted it as well.
