"Start talking." Daria said the moment Liam stepped into her chamber.
"Woah… mother. You couldn't at least let me have a seat first?" Liam questioned with a raised brow.
"Who's that girl, Liam? Where did she come from? How did she get here? Why is she even here?" Daria asked all at once.
"One question at a time, your majesty." Liam said as he sat opposite Daria on the couch. "Like I had said earlier… her name's Elena Morgan. She's from Zoavale. I met with her when I left the kingdom months ago, back when I told you I was in search of something in Zoavale." Liam explained briefly, not wanting to go into the full detail of his encounter with Elena.
"Then what is she doing here, and how did she get here?" Daria questioned out of curiosity.
"That's what I want to discuss with you, and I want you to be completely honest with me, mother. I need you to tell me the truth and nothing but the truth." Liam said with all seriousness.
