Late in the evening, Lyra sat up going over things that needs to be done in the palace, when she heard knocking on her door.
"Come in." Mikaela stepped in at glanced about the room.
"Dad isn't here?"
"Your father is stuck in his office catching up on work." Lyra looked up from her paperwork to smile at her daughter. "What brings you in here? Ailwin not around tonight?"
"W-Wha-why would you bring up Ailwin?" Mika looked around her mother's bedroom avoiding her stare.
"Oh, was I not supposed to know what you two have been up to?…Cause I'm pretty sure everyone in the palace knows except for your father. So, if you two want to keep it a secret from him, I suggest you tone down your randevu in your bedroom. That's how I caught you guys anyway...." Lyra spoke as she studied the sheet in front of her, as if talking about her daughter's sex life was an everyday subject.
Mika blushed red. Her mother knows what she has been going with Ailwin.
