Chapter 86 Pretending to Be a Maid

Queen Eliza lied on the bed weakly, covering with a thick quilt embroidered with peonies. She was bony. She snuggled down in her soft pillow and her eyes stared at nothing. Her face was waxen and eyelids were bloated. Her mouth was pale and dry, with saliva remaining.

Calamity was shocked by her shape. Three year later, the kind and solemn lady was at death's door.

She held the edge of the bed by her bony hands and tried to get up, "Is my honey Louis here? Louis..."

Since Louis hadn't seen her for several days, he held the King's neck tightly and refused to come towards her, fearing of her appearance.

The King smiled and answered, "Mother, Louis is coming and he misses you so much."

A maid came to hold her and let her cocoon in two cushions, but she could sit on them firmly.

The King sat on the bed and put Louis on the edge. He held Queen Eliza's hand and choked with sobs, "Mother, cheer up! For me and for Louis!"
