"What?" Rhea exclaimed in astonishment. She told Alora to stay in the room as she would go out to welcome the princess.
Upon reaching outside, Rhea found the princess was already in the living room, seated elegantly on the center of the sofa. Rhea bowed to her, greeting her with due respect.
"I suppose you are Alora's mother," Lillian deduced.
"Yes, I am, Your Highness," Rhea replied.
"Bring Alora here. I am here to see how a human is able to win the heart of my most ruthless and not so caring brother," Lillian remarked.
Before Rhea could ask a servant to bring Alora, she came on her own. Lillian was amused to see Alora and the blindfold in her eyes. Alora greeted the princess and then, her mother her seat on the sofa. Rhea sat beside her daughter, thinking what Lillian had to say.
