“If only there had been a second chance! I will love you with all my heart!” Katherine closed the eyes of her one and only son with tears of blood in her eyes. Katherine, the second wife of the emperor Christian De Fasanovia, did everything to make sure that her son would be the emperor. So when her other concubines attacked the crown prince, she closed her eyes. Her only goal was to save her son and for that she wanted him to be emperor, the ultimate power and authority. On the day her husband died, she was more than happy, as the crown prince was already dead and now only her son was left! With the crown in her hands, she went to welcome the new power only to see him drinking poison by himself with a cold smile on his face. “If I get another chance, I never want you to be my mother!” He closed his eyes with hatred towards his cold and cruel mother only to open his eyes when he was 5 again. But why is his mother behaving differently this time? Was it a dream or he just woke up from one?
"Her majesty? She is not in the palace. She had gone to attend a tea party at the palace of duchess Elmore." he stopped in his tracks and then looked at the maid whose face had softened.
She held his shoulders and then took him in her arms again.
"You are sick, my lord. You need to rest. You can always meet her majesty when she comes back." she caressed his cheeks gently when he took a deep sigh and nodded his head.
"Yes, I would wait for her to come back." he whispered softly as he leaned more into her arms and closed his eyes.
'I am sorry my lord for lying to you. But you do need some rest and time to collect your thoughts.' whispered the maid in her heart as she hugged the small child and took him back to his bed.
She continued to caress his hair and pat his back soothingly and sang a lullaby until he fell asleep again.
Once assured that the boy was resting, she closed off the light and covered him with a blanket and walked out of the room.
