Queen Nadia couldn't stop herself from beaming from cheek to cheek. "Spoken like the Queen you're meant to be."
"A queen!" Lola arched her brow.
"Yes, my dear child. You are the only heir of my first son, King Zain and by birth, the ruler over the Yarkush empire when your grandfather and I, step down."

"Relax, my dear child." The queen placed her hand on Lola's shoulder. "There is still enough time to learn and you will have a lot of people to guide you. Also, the proclamation would not be made until after you have met with your family members and your people. I'm just pre-informing you so that you can prepare your mind for the task ahead. Your grandfather and I think you should know your position in the family so that you don't get coaxed into believing something else."
