Chapter 49: Make Ammends

“May you allow me one audience with the queen?” I ask him.

Cerulean furrows his brows. “If you don’t mind my inquiry. What for?”

“I do not wish to marry with bad blood. I want to speak it out with her. If we cannot even do that then I will let it go for good.”

Cerulean nods.

“I agree that there should be no bad blood.”

“That includes you and your father. He’s still upset about the decree.” I say to him.

“I know. I will talk to him and assure you an audience. But for now cuddles.” He says and pulls me into a great hug.

“Who would have known the crown prince was just a softie” I tease and hug him back.

“Just for you.”

“Just for you,” I repeat.

The warm breeze is a welcome surprise in the sleepy night air.

After asking Cerulean last night, I am granted my one audience with the queen.

The guards in front of the door separate when they see me coming.

I knock on the doors.

“Enter.”

I step inside and take a bow. “Queen Cordelia.”
