"Mom!"
I heard Carlisle somewhere among the foliage.
"Your Majesty, you will fall so!
I was not agitated by the alarming shouts of the servants.
Through the greenery, I saw an outstretched hand and moved there.
In an instant, passing the bushes, I clung to Carlisle and hugged him.
"Ugh. Mom! I can not breathe!"
But how long can you beg him not to go anywhere without asking?
Upon awakening, I found that Carlisle's seat was empty.
When even the servant said that they did not know about the prince's plans, I was struck by another fear.
Couldn't he have escaped from the palace just because he wanted to go home?
Or maybe my child was kidnapped by villains?
All the worst fantasies popped into my mind.
I only loosened my grip when I was relieved.
Then, taking the child by the hands, I chided him:
"What did your mother tell you?"
"She told me not to go anywhere and sit in the room."
I raised my voice without realizing it.
"But where did you go in splendid isolation? If I wanted to go for a walk, I had to tell my mom. If you continue to run away secretly, avoiding the glances of the maids..."
At that time, I felt a hand gripping my shoulder.
"Ellie."
The low and dry voice right under my ear made me involuntarily shudder.
Raymond and his antics ...
"We are now seen by many eyes. And Carlisle ... He seems to be very embarrassed now. So why don't you let go of his wrong this time," he whispered to me softly.
And behind him was a detachment of servants, maids and knights. All - with faces covered with despair.
My invasion of the garden was so swift that I did not even notice the entire retinue of the emperor around.
I looked at Carlisle again.
And she saw Carlisle's eyes begin to water.
I also saw how dirt accumulated on my shoes and that my clothes were all worn out.
"Sorry... I got bored, so I went out to look at the flower garden ... and wandered a bit far. I won't be anymore, Mom..." Carlisle said with a sob.
"Do not Cry. I'm sorry your mom was angry. From now on you will not run away, okay? As busy as your mom is, you have to tell her. And go out in the presence of the maids and others. It's clear?"
"Promise."
Carlisle was the first to give me his pinky.
"You made a promise, so keep it now."
Carlisle looked at me with sparkling eyes and hesitated. Seeing his tears, my heart again began to rush in anxiety.
I stroked Carlisle's cheeks and brushed the blades of grass from his hair.
"Let's go back to my mother's house.
I smiled, and Carlisle stopped sulking too. When I was about to walk back arm in arm with Carlisle, I suddenly faltered from a sudden attack of dizziness.
