A Regret

"How is Queen Gretta now?" asked Shan who was standing next to Leon. They were chatting in Leon's private room, talking about everything from the palace to personal matters that bothered them. 

Their conversation was as friends, not as a king and a royal servant. 

"It's been better," Leon replied without turning to Shan. 

Letting out a rough sigh, Shan turned around and leaned against the wall by the window that created distance between them. "I hope she stays well. Instead of worrying about the palace, I'm more worried about her." 

"What are you worried about? She can definitely control everything on her own, we just need to keep supporting her and making her aware of our existence."
