24 Hours

"Daughter," The Ouroboros Queen's stern voice could be heard reverberating in the grand hall, causing Silva's face to slightly change as she turned her gaze towards her mother. "From now until the next 24 hours, you are prohibited to go and be in the close proximity of that young man."

The statement, coupled with the serious expression, quickly shocked Silva, as it was very much unexpected. She was unable to comprehend the possible reasons as to why this decision needed to be made.

"What?! Why!?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man standing next to the queen who had been watching the entire situation silently, Duke Syre, shouted.

"You are not to speak like that to the queen!"

From the rather harsh reactions shown by the two people who cared for her the most, Silva finally realized that she was in far more trouble than she had initially thought. Therefore, she quickly adjusted her demeanor and tone of voice before uttering her puzzlement.
