"My lady, he is the son of your fiance and archduke, lord Sopeherine. Perhaps you are mistaking him with someone else?" asked Martha but she did not remember her mistress being so attached with any child.
Ana blinked. She finally came back to her senses and noticed the confused and worried gaze of the child and laughed awkwardly but her eyes were still longing for him.
"It might be." she stood up and adjusted her dress as she smiled at him, "are you here to meet me, my lord?" the boy nodded instantly as he picked up a small packet from the table.
"I wanted to see my new mother and give him this." He passed the packet to her with a shy look when she bit his lips. She already knew what was in the packet. It was a wooden flower made by himself as he was learning how to use a dagger. He had used it in carving for her.
In the past, she had felt it was a waste since she was expecting jewels or rare gifts from the family of the duke that she failed to notice the heart of the child.
