Defeat...
When it's was afternoon mother came with the maids. They were going to help me walked to my room. She did not ask me what happened. I wondered if the emperor told her or she already knew that her son was a monster in bed.
I was beginning to suspect mother too. She was hiding something away from. They shared a secret together. One that was forbidden to tell.
I walked in to the harem with different eyes staring at me. As usual they whispered among them selves. I wondered what mother told them was wrong with me.
But how did I turned like this over night?
"Mother" Princess Arya ran towards and stopped. She saw how weak I was. "What happened to you , mother ?"
I gave a brief smile and said "Little sick , my love."
She came and hugged my legs. I felt at peace when she did that. The young girl was my strength in the palace.
