CHAPTER 61:

  Sonia decided to go for a walk with Tessa walking behind her. She was deep in thought as she kept walking to the garden.

  She would look at Dorcas for a while, but he was just quiet and calm in her arms.

  "What are you?" She mentally asked. And she wished he could just hear her and give her a reply. "I'm happy though, I'm happy you'll grow up to become some thing great."

  Sonia sat under a tree, and yet the thought hadn't left her mind. Tessa was worried for her, seeing the way she was lost in thought.

  "Your highness." She called, worriedly.

  Sonia didn't spare her a glance.

  "Your highness." She called again.

  Sonia turned her gaze to her, looking mutely at her but didn't say any thing.

  "What's bothering you?" Tessa asked, worried.

  "Nothing." She said,

  "But. . . you look worried." She said, doubting her words.

  "Right now, I just want to think, Tessa." She simply said.
