It's Really You

Arin Helev was on a pavilion, chatting with Iria as he waited for his friend to arrive.

"I think it's better for you to rest in the chamber," the King pointed out. "The weather is cold here outdoors."

"Winter only started, Arin. Once it reaches its peak, I won't be able to go out much anymore. So, I have to take advantage of this and go out often while I could. Besides, I'm only here to get some fresh air," Iria replied in a calm voice.

Arin stared at her for a few seconds before he asked, "How did you get through winter last year?"

The Queen recalled and said, "Cedore isn't that cold compared to Qalagon. However, when it's hard to bear, I locked up myself in my chamber. I helped my uncle a lot and I always have many works to do anyway. So, no one suspects me."

"They deserve to know, Iria," Arin said in a firm yet calm voice. "They are your family."

"I know."
