"Nooooo!!!!"
Emmelyn screamed at the top of her lungs when she realized what happened to the queen. She put two and two together and realized why the king acted like a madman and the whole royal palace was engulfed in deep sadness.
Even John was in tears and Mr. Vitas suddenly looked even much older than he already was.
The queen was dead.
Oh my god...
Emmelyn felt her heart torn into a million little pieces. She had never felt this much sadness for someone's death, not even her family.
To her, Queen Elara was the mother figure she never really had. Her own mother was cold and distant. Queen Elara was the first older woman that Emmelyn loved and looked up to as a mother.
She loved her mother-in-law like she would her biological mother. The queen's warmth, love, and acceptance from the beginning were what touched her heart and enabled her to finally forgive her enemy and accepted them as her new family.
