The truth

Queen Isabella arranged a picnic for the young ones. It was for them to get a chance to bond and fix broken ties that existed among them. 

Out in the garden under the shinning sun, they all sat in a circle with the food and fruits placed at the center.

Asher dished out food for Ariadne and set it in front of her. The princess stared at the food having no appetite to eat. 

All the arrangements that were made suffocated her. She had woken up in the morning with the hope of staying indoors all day and trying not to think of the past. But as always everyone had other plans and her opinion doesn't count for anything. 

"Why do you seem sad?" Draxan inquired taking her hand. 

Princess Ariadne stiffen upon his touch. Her body shuddered in fear, had it been any other day she would not have minded his closeness. However, this was not any normal day.
