As Aurelia's grandmother continued her barrage of questions, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and apprehension.
Her lively interrogation had taken me on a whirlwind journey through the castle's corridors and the depths of my own thoughts. Despite the initial surprise, I found myself growing fond of her eccentricity, her warmth, and her genuine interest in my relationship with Aurelia.
Yet, beneath the surface, a sense of unease lingered. Aurelia's grandmother's probing questions about our intentions and future plans had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within me.
While I knew my feelings for Aurelia were genuine, the prospect of marriage loomed like a daunting specter, casting a shadow over our blossoming relationship but would I have the choice later and if Riley really abdicate I will have no choice but to get married before becoming queen.
