Prince Ibarra stiffened. Did his mother call him Ibrahim? He thought that he might have misheard and so he looked at Queen Lucinda gently.
"Ibrahim, it is good for you to come home and celebrate your birthday with us. It has been so long." Queen Lucinda hugged her son as she greeted him.
Prince Ibarra's face turned pale. He did not mishear. His mother really called him Ibrahim. Has his mother's illness relapsed? But even when she suffered depression in the past, she never mistook him for Ibrahim.
Queen Lucinda's voice was soft but clear. The nobles who were sitting in the front and at the left wing of the hall beside the stage heard her.
Princess Consort Nelida and Princess Amaya also heard Queen Lucinda's voice. The Princess Consort frowned.
'Did the Queen turn senile? Why would she call Ibarra as Ibrahim?' Nelida was resentful.
