I heard that no one saw him returning with the queen too. And the queen says she didn't know where he is. Grandma… I feel like he'll never return to me again. I feel like I will never see him again." she wept pitifully in her Grandma's embrace and Iryz could only stand there watching as her own heart broke as she listened.
