(Ethan's POV)
Going straight to my mother's hiding space within the palace, after seeing the Queen, Damien and I might be holding hands, but I was lost in my thoughts.
"Your Majesty!?"
I looked up to see a maid and blinked. Straightening up, I became the 'King' and looked at the maid with questions in my eyes. From what I know...She was standing right outside where my mother was being kept...
After a moment of silence, Damien held my hand tighter all of a sudden, and I looked up at him in puzzlement.
"Mine!"
Uh?
I know I was his...
"Stop staring at other people!"
...Oh!
I let out a small chuckle and when I looked back at the maid, I remembered I was supposed to act as King and straightened myself back up again. "I would like to see my mother."
"Your Majesty...I was told that you would have heard..."
"Heard what?" I had...A bad feeling about this! The maid looked somewhat scared and...Was that pity? Sorrow?
"...Your mother passed away."
Silence overcame the corridor that was quite dark...
I wanted to speak...But I didn't know what to say...
How could she just die?
...Maybe I heard it wrong...
Finally opening my mouth, all I could utter was, "...What?"
"She..." The maid bowed her head more deeply and went silent.
"When did she die?" I heard Damien speak, as I was unable too. To be honest, I had not accepted this in the least...
How could she just die?
"...Not long after His Majesty's last visit. I was told that you will be informed immediately."
The maid had her head bowed and spoke in a small voice, only making me more and more restless.
Could it be...True?
But...
When I last visited...
"...My last visit? That was...Months ago!" I was starting to get really angry. Even if I was in denial about her death, this type of news was a bit...Shocking!
So...It mustn't be true, she can't be dead!
Yet...I had a niggling feeling inside of me go a bit numb...
...At first, I was shocked, but hearing this, when it has been months! What was going on!?
"Yes, she seemed to have died in her sleep, Your Majesty. She had left a secret letter to you, that was why I am still here. As I had to hand it to you personally."
I swallowed...My mother...Was gone?
Just like that...
We didn't even become close...Ever...
I wanted to show her Chance...Damien...
I wanted to ask about my father...
Why is she dead!?
Without knowing, the maid had left to get this letter, because Damien had told her too, while I was trapped in my own thoughts.
