Will You Marry Me Then?
Rowena still couldn't believe she did what she did. If she was in her right mind, she would never dream of laying a hand on royalty in a palace of a foreign kingdom.
However, the thought that a mother would lay a hand on their own child hurt Rowena. She was reminded of her own father who attempted to slay Lucent and her body reacted on its own. It suddenly came to her and triggered something in her brain and came out as a reflex to protect Liam.
Rowena was worried about how the king might react and what it meant for Julian since they required the royal family's favor, but the king of Verona slowly shook his head. The man didn't look angry at all. He probably understood that Rowena didn't mean to do what she did.
Also, he would have done the same if he was closer. His queen was often troubled and this was not the first time she had shown such outburst.
