SPIKED TOAST

[Music Recommendation: Arcade ~ Duncan Laurence]

Somewhere in Oriana's heart, she was glad that Louis had told her about the secret behind her birth earlier. If she had heard it for the first time during the coronation, she would have been so flustered and wouldn't have been able to handle the situation as she just did.

That day Louis gave her the book, he also told her something else. And the words he said replayed in her mind:

"There's one more thing you need to know. Actually, the Mother Queen asked that you never be told the truth about your birth. She wanted you to have a normal childhood, as it wasn't your fault that your mother had shared a bed with a commoner. Though he was punished and killed, the Mother Queen asked that King Curtis keep you as his own. And nobody was allowed to say anything about it."
