Alysia Flora's POV
It had been a few days since my mother's funeral.
I was now faced with the responsibilities of being the temporary Queen.
"Your Highness, please check and sign this document" one of the Elders urged.
"Oh, Okay" I picked up the document and began to read it.
The elder in front of me was the same one who had criticized my mother without fear.
After a few minutes, the elder's impatience grew evident,
"You are taking too much time, Your Highness. If it were your mother, she would have signed it already" he remarked sternly, making clear his opinion of my capabilities as a ruler.
In a few moments of contemplation, I signed the document and handed it to the elder. He accepted it and left without uttering a word.
"Mama" I whispered, trying to hold back my tears.
