Invitation From Empress Emira

Helena sat cross-legged on the soft green grass as she moved her legs and hands resting on her thighs.

"Empress Helena… are you bored?" asked Harika, feeling strange about Helena's attitude since her meeting with Felix.

"I'm not bored! I'm just… thinking, Uhm..." Helena raised her forefingers, then she put them on her right and left temples. Soon, she closed her eyes and immediately, hoping to get some enlightenment on all her questions.

"Empress Helena, can't we…?  we can't find out about something that's forbidden? It's very… very dangerous… How about we focus on your pregnancy." Harika gave the best suggestion she could give.

"Are you still feeling nauseous when seeing King Louis' face? It's been a few days, and King Louis hasn't come to see you. Don't you miss him at all?" asked Harika, who was curious, and closed the thick book that Helena was currently studying.
