Mistress Valeria watched Prince Christopher lay Elsa gently on the bed. She was still shocked at the revelation that Elsa had announced earlier.
"May I freely speak, Your Highness?" Valeria asked Chris.
"Please, go ahead," Chris said before covering Elsa with the duvet.
"Is she really Hera's daughter?" Valeria asked with a trembling voice and teary eyes.
"I found out at the same time you did. I had a hint though. But everything had happened so fast… Elsa and I didn't really have a talk after she regained her memory of her mother," Chris answered.
Chris watched Valeria stare at Elsa with both joy and sadness in her eyes.
"She looks so much like Hera. I missed a lot in her life," Valeria could no longer stop her tears from falling down, and sobbed quietly.
