She's dying

A few days later, King Cassius and Queen Loretta finally returned to Yorucia. Although their negotiations had borne promising results, they were in a horrible mood as soon as they came in. 

Needless to say, they had heard about the changes that happened in the castle while they were away. 

As soon as he got out of the carriage, King Cassius asked to see the Mother Queen and Marlena in the meeting room. 

"Mother, explain!" He demanded. 

Mother Queen Ivy cast him a lazy look despite already knowing what her son was talking about. "What are you referring to?" 

Loretta couldn't keep her anger in anymore. Without waiting for her husband to speak, she spoke up. "We need a clear explanation as to why you declared someone a princess in our absence."
