Family

The Queen herself failed to understand what she was doing since all she did was hate her but now all of a sudden she was liking her. In fact she was confused at her act of carrying her and patting her like she used to do with Darno or Julian.

"It's fine... don't cry..."

She looked at her eyes and smiled at Emilia.

Only Emilia and a few other maids knew how hard she had worked to just get a small glance of the queen's smile. However, she was able to see the smile only once and that was his before her execution when she met with HER!

After all SHE was the real reason for her execution.

Emilia finally saw her smile in this new life and finally said the word that she was holding onto till now.

"Mama..."

She finally told the one word which she had always desired. She was happy now and looked up towards the Queen.

The moment she looked up she was shocked.

The Queen was crying!!

Tears ran down from her eyes and fell on Emilia's cheeks as she was looking up. She was hurting her teeth and her face was red. All she could do was cry at this moment as the words which she couldn't hear from her own children was told by someone else!

Though she was annoying, arrogant and cruel, she too was a human and a lady at that so of course she would also have a soft heart which was just covered with sadness on the outside.

But all those emotions that had been piled up suddenly gushed our when she heard the word - 'MAMA'.

She immediately hugged the young princess and kissed her forehead.

"Can you call me that again?", she asked that almost instantly after kissing.

"Hehe~ Emi will fall you Mama from now on..."

Even Emilia herself was crying at what she was saying.

When Seria (The Queen) heard her say that, she too broke into tears and cried even more.

Both of them cried from sometime and soon recovered as if nothing had happened.

Now the queen who was once called the cruel person and merciless, was now speaking happily with Emilia. It was as if she had opened her heart only to her.

Thinking of this as an opportunity, Emilia asked, "Mama, why don't you remove the curtains? It's too dark with only candles..."

The real reason why the queen had ordered to put the curtains was because she was disheartened and left alone. So she would spend her time sitting alone and think of all the happenings!

And during that time she had ordered to put them up but now that she had recovered from those griefs, she could easily remove them and that was why Emilia asked her to do so.

She nodded her head and immediately walked by herself and removed the curtains.

The brilliant light started entering the room. The window which was covered with the curtains from long time had a lot of piled up dusts but regardless of that the view through the window was pretty and beautiful.

Not only was the garden visible but also the knights training area and the horse stable was clearly visible from the window.

It was quite an amazing view if one were to summarise. Also Seria immediately went towards the window and opened it even when there was a lot of dust.

The moment she did, cool wind started gushing in and made her heart thrill. Her hairs were fluttering in the air like that of the dandelions in the garden. Both were similar in many ways as both fluttered and both had yellowish - golden texture!

Seria immediately turned towards Emilia and walked towards her.

She sat down and hugged her as if she were thanking her for releasing her from a cage.

Emilia didn't understand what she meant by the huge. Even with her brain as an adult she didn't understand it but for some reason she felt as if what she had done was right.

She started asking some weird and childish questions to Emilia and Emilia answered them very innocently.

She wanted to burst into laughter when she heard the questions, but she controlled herself since she had to pretend that she was just a kid.

This kept on going until someone banged the door opened.

"Seria! What have you done to Emilia!!!? She isnt to be found in the entire palace so..."

He had come rushingly and spoke quite rudely but all of a sudden he stopped.

For some reason he didn't have the heart to tell anything further.

The moment he saw the bright glowing eyes of Seria, he felt as if the time had turned back and it was the first time when both of them met.

There were some pillows kept in between due to which Emilia wasn't visible. She tried to stand up a bit and after doing that finally he was able to see.

"E-emi!! You were safe right!!! She didn't do anything right!!!?"

Emilia looked at him innocently by tilting her head to one side and placing the index finger of the right hand on her lips.

Seria for some reason bowed her head on seeing that Alex didn't believe her at all. She had just started to open her heart and now this might have made her close her hearts again!

Emilia was afraid as she didn't wanted that to happen again so she used her ultimate weapons on Alex - INNOCNCE and CUTENESS!

"Papa... what did mama do?"

"Uh... she..."

"I don't know what happened papa... but mama looked sad..."

"..."

Alex couldn't say anything to what Emilia said. He too lowered his head.

Emilia uses her hand and asks Alex to come towards him while saying, "Papa come here..."

Alex starts walking towards her.

At the same time she asks Seria to come closer.

"Mama, come closer..."

Seria too comes closer and finally both of them were close enough for Emilia to touch them.

She suddenly stood up and hugged both of them!

"Papa and mama! I lobe (love) both! All of us are family, so don't fight..."

"..."

"..."
