Fulfulling an old promise

Music Recommendation: Adagietto- Beethoven

Hours passed, and Anastasia remained transfixed, staring at the wall before her in silence, lost in her own thoughts. When it was time for dinner, she anxiously made her way to the dining room. But upon entering, she found the head of the table to be empty, and with a sigh, she took her place at the table's edge. 

Soon, the Mother Queen stepped inside the room, her staff gently clicking against the floor as she walked. With a gentle smile, she stated, "The best part of the day is when you gather around with your family all together for a meal. What do you think?" 

"You are right, Grandmother," Aiden agreed with her.

The Mother Queen walked around the table and took a seat next to Anastasia.
