"What gave her the nerves?" I heard queen Valeria asking when they were leaving my room. They got tired and left. She was expecting to shiver and beg mercy from them. If there was anyone I was going to ask from forgiveness from it's was the emperor and his mother. This situation caused them pain than anyone.
"Queen Ariadne" Marlena called my name when she entered the room. She brought tea for me. I looked at the tray in her and wished I could become a tea cup. It would have save me from tomorrow's shame.
"Thank you but I don't want to take…" I began bit she did not allow me to finish.
"No way, queen Ariadne. You have to drink it" She said placing the tray on the table. Queen Marlena tool a cup and offered it to me. She was ready to listen to my excuse. "Please, do it for us."
I sighed because I love them all. She was going to use this against me. I took the cup from her and sipped a little. She frowned and I drank half of it.
