The Empress and I stayed there for quite a while, reminiscing stories from the past. She told me that she had always wanted to have a daughter, but because of the Herman bloodline that allowed the women of the family to only bear a male child, she could only hope for it. That is why my mother brings me to the palace so that the empress could wipe away her longing.
From her words alone, I could feel that the Empress and my mother had a very good relationship. Our talk had only made me miss her more…
Ezekiel then came and interrupted our pleasant conversation, joining us. Unfortunately, the Empress had to go because of an appointment with the royal physician.
"I will wait for the next time that you'll visit," Auntie said and then set off with her maids-in-waiting.
Now, only Ezekiel, Eon, Nathan, and I are left in the garden.
"Do you want me to tour you around?" Ezekiel asked.
