"Oh my, is that you, Salvino! It has been a while since I have seen... you have grown!" my mother said with a very happy face
"Your majesty! I am glad to see you!" Salvino said
We heard footsteps that were coming closer
It was Marina with Ethan all messed up
" YOUR MAJESTY!" Ethan said
" Hello, Lord Ethan!" My mother said
" I AM SO SORRY THAT I LEFT YOU ALONE PLEASE KILL ME IF YOU WISH!" Ethan said
" What nonsense? You had to go see your ill brother! He is all you have got after all!" My mother said
"..."
I looked at Ethan shocked and the he looked at me apologetic
I feel bad I thought he left my mother because he didn't want to do his job
" Oh, and who is that beautiful young lady?" My mother asked
" Oh, she is my sister, and Ethan's fiancée" Salvino answered with hesitation, looking at me
"Hello! My name is Marina. I'm happy to see you, your majesty!" Marina said
" What a well-mannered lady you are! I wish my son to marry a lady like you!" My mother said
Marina stayed silent and looked at me
"Mother, you shouldn't be moving a lot you seem really tired!" I said concerned
"I know...I know" Mother said
"Well, I will be outside. If you need me, tell me..."I said
"Sure thing!" My mother said
Everyone was out of the room
"You guys! We need evidence to get rid of Harionago!" I said
"I actually might know where they make the drugs she put in the beasts food!" Salvino said
"OK, THEN LET US GO!" I said
"Very well." Salvino said
" I will be staying next to the queen until she is well," Ethan said
"What about your brother?" I asked
" He is now in good hands and is now getting better!" Ethan answered
"Ok then! I am sorry for shouting at you earlier I didn't know your brother is ill" I said
"NO, you shouldn't apologize it is my fault, she got injured because of my recklessness" Ethan said
" I...I will take care of her Highness as well!" Marina said
" Will that be okay?" I asked
" My sister has studied chemistry, so she is well aware of what she is going to do. I trust her!" Salvino said
"Wow, you know a lot! You are very talented! My mother will be in your care then, " I said
Salvino and I left as soon as possible after saying goodbye to everyone
Salvino and I rode a carriage, and the whole way I was deep in my thoughts, when I turned to Salvino, he was starting at me
"Is...is there something on my face?" I asked
" ... I have never seen you make that face before you look very angry and worried and sad all at the same time! Are you okay?" Salvino asked
" I would be a liar if I said I was okay! I am honestly very angry. " I said
"Don't...Think about it too much, okay? This is the first time I comfort someone
I am always cold towards people, so sorry if I am not that good at it!" Salvino said
" Don't be silly. I know you are comforting me, so that is enough!" I said
He smiled at me with teary eyes
" You are the first friend to be speaking comfortably to me they are all scared of me," Salvino said
"You are intimidating!" I said with a laugh
" Really? That is cool. " He said
"You are going to scare the ladies away." I said with a serious face
We both looked at each other and then laughed
We sat in the carriage for hours until we arrived
"Look! It looks like we are here!" He said
" That place looks shady!" I said
" I know! Let's see if they are going to give us information or not!" He said Then added "They have to give us information anyways or they will be good as dead"
