Meeting the Queen mother.

Leanna and Araide were sitting in a room. Duke Osalde asked Ariade not to say anything about the incidents that happened in the merchant capital. So he didn't tell anyone except his mother. The knights, too, kept quiet about it as per the orders of the prince. And disobeying his orders would lead to their deaths, so they didn't report anything about the incident. More importantly, they had brought the prince and Elizleta to the king's capital safely, that was all. 

As Araide recounted the events, Leanna's emotions swirled within her. A mixture of anger and concern enveloped her as she heard how her son's life had been threatened. The fierce protective instinct of a mother surged through her veins, but Araide's calming presence steadied her, preventing her anger from consuming her.
