19 I'm sorry, little Hal!

Vivianne was in her room, getting dolled up for the party. Today she will be seen by her country people and many of the other guests who have arrived to attend the party. Vivianne was so nervous as she had to address the guests without covering her face.

Actually the main reason is not about the guests seeing her, it is Charles. He will see her for sure today. She was debating inside what she should do now. She wanted Charles to remember her as his mother but also she don't want to hurt him.

If he didn't recognise her, she will feel bad. If he did recognise her, things may get complicated and she may not gain his love again!

Whatever she can't stay cooped up in this room. She left her bedroom and went towards the hall. Vivianne was waiting outside the room for her name to be announced. General Steve was waiting for her at the entrance in a military suit with eyes wide and a big smile.

He bowed his head as a gesture of greeting. She nodded lightly with a faint smile. She took a deep breath as her name was mentioned by the spokesperson. She slowly walked into the hall by Steve following her.

Everyone was looking at the entrance as soon as they saw the Queen, they were stunned by her beauty.

Vivianne was wearing a royal blue full sleeve gown with wide neck. Her crimson hair was as silky and as swirly as ever. Her head had two crowns, one was made by her hair and on top of that an extravagant crown was sitting. Her smile was warm and can melt the hearts of anyone who sees it.

Youthness and bravery vibrated in her aura, she was in her twenties after all. Her turquoise eyes was both happy and frightened at the same time.

A sapphire necklace was wrapped around her neck with a long dew drop earring hanging from a circle sapphire was on either sides. She appeared to be the goddess of beauty and pride.

The Queen can only be seen in her country and no media or photos can be telecasted about the party. Only within Magnolia, the photos and videos can be distributed. Those who want to see her, should come to her country and she should allow them to see her, that is the rule. This is all to hide from Vinson.

Both the Gregarios and Auroras were looking for Charles as it might be heart breaking for the little one. But he was nowhere to be found.

Klay and Chris were searching for Charles and Carl as it was time for cake cutting. They asked the grandparents, that is when they knew both the princes were missing.

Auroras and Gregarios started searching for their grandsons. General Zack and some soldiers also joined the searching party.

As the time went, they were nowhere to be found. Chris went to Vivianne, who was talking to the president of S country while her eyes searched for Charles. Chris pulled her gown, Vivianne squatted down and asked her cheerfully, "What is it, birthday girl?"

Chris said with a sad expression, "Big Brother and Brother are missing."

Vivianne's eyes widened, but she smiled and said, "Go and take care of your friends, mommy will search for them, okay?" Chris was already at the brink of crying when she heard her mommy but she nodded.

Klay was standing next to her, Vivianne asked patting his head, "Take care of your little sister, Klay. Go inside and wait for Mommy, Okay?" He nodded and went with Chris while coaxing her.

She excused herself from the talk and looked for them around. Many came to talk her, she smiled and moved from the place after few word exchanges. She saw Steve and asked about what happened.

General Steve replied, "Zack, your parents and some soldiers are already looking for them".

Vivianne's heart sunk, she asked with fear, "What if something happened to them? I'm so afraid Steve, call all the soldiers search the whole country. I want my sons, now".

General Steve said, "My lady, there is a party going on. Guests from various places have arrived just to see you. You have to stay there, we will look for them."

Vivianne became angry on hearing his words, she said coldly, "My sons are missing! You are asking me to return to the party? Do you have any sense? I want to see them soon!" Then she went into the castle. She looked here and there while all the soldiers searched for them.

Vivianne's tear started to escape her eyes. She had no idea where they went. If Vinson was to find out that she lost their two sons in which he might not be aware of the second one, he will kill her. She has already took many things from him and she herself can't live without her children.

She was in the garden now, she looked around with her fastly beating heart. She saw there was light lit up in her art room. Her lips curled up a little, she rushed to her art room.

When she reached the room, she took a deep breath and looked inside the room slowly first. A little silhouette, whose head was a little below her hips was looking at her master piece.

Another little silhouette, bigger than the last one was sitting next to him with his head burried inbetween his knees which was hugged together.

She has never showed that to anyone. She finished that piece last week. It was hidden under a satin cloth. 'They must have opened it', she thought.

She slowly walked into the room, hearing her footsteps the little guys turned back to look at Vivianne. Carl who was standing walked towards her. Tears descended from Charles's already red eyes, the little guy asked, "You are my birth mother, Scarlett. Aren't you?"

Vivanne nodded and she took few sudden steps forward holding Carl's hands as Charles cried.

The little guy moved few steps backward. Vivianne was over, the moment she saw the fear in his eyes. She collapsed into the floor and started to cry aloud.

She said, "I'm sorry, little Hal! I had to do it, I had no other choice! I love you so much, little Hal. Don't hate me, please". Carl patted her head like how she used to do when Chris cries and kneeled beside her.
