THE SINFUL EMPRESS
Chapter Forty-Six
Mum in the palace! When I walk into the gazebo, the king is seated on his royal stool. All the eyes are on me. Big and small eyes, red and white, brown, and blue shades. All those are looking at me. My eyes land on my mum, yes, you heard it well, my mum is standing closer to the king, and my sisters, including Alicia, are seated on an artistic, fine, traditionally made bench. Alicia came back and no one bothered to tell me? This is truly a surprise. I didn't expect to see such a large crowd here today. Henry's friends, and some other elders that I have never seen before. What is going on here?
Mum looks like she has seen what she never expected to see. Her eyes are wide open, her breathing is loud, and even though she has a smile written all over her face. She is surprised. I run towards mum, and I am about to hug her when she pushes me away with force. I totter and wobble moving backwards, but a strong arm holds and stops me from falling down.
