Queen Emilia's heart pounded in her chest as she approached Lord Arcturus in the grand hall of the palace. She wanted to talk to him and this was the perfect moment for her. Her eyes burned with a mix of anger, disappointment, and concern for her daughter. She could no longer ignore the rumors that had reached her ears in the palace , suggesting a clandestine affair between Lord Arcturus and Princess Sophia.She had felt that only Isabella knew about it ,but now she had just heard the same thing from some palace workers on her consistent sneaking out at midnight into the Lord's chambers secretly. She knew this was not good for her daughters, neither was it good for the throne as well. The people of the east were never in support of having a woman as their ruler, but now for the first time in a long time of history the gift was given to a woman ,which meant that she was befitting to rule.

"Princess Victoria is a suitable match for you, very perfect on at that, she holds all the qualities of a future absolute queen.

He sighed softly before meeting his father's eyes. "Father, I appreciate your intentions
Dear Princess Sophia,I hope this letter finds you well. I must admit, the words I am about to write weigh heavily on my heart, but I believe it is time for us to reevaluate our affair and the plans we have made.Over the past few weeks, we have found solace in each other's company, seeking comfort and forbidden pleasures in the shadows. But I cannot deny the turmoil within me, the realization that what we have been doing is not right, both ethically and morally.I have come to understand the consequences of our actions, through my encounter with the queen recently, the hurt it would cause to those we hold dear. Princess Sophia, it pains me to say this, but I must put an end to our affair, at least for now. It is time for us to face the truth and seek redemption for our transgressions and I very sure that we can carry on with this when the grounds are calm enough.I have thought long and hard about this decision, and I believe it is for the best. We must find the strength to separate
