[Chapter 4: The Journey for the Capital] Part 2

Queen Cathini POV [11th Queen of Anatolia]

I love my husband.... He has the weight of the world on his shoulders, working hard for the betterment of our nation. And he does it all without a single complaint.... I wish I could relieve his stress somehow...
I wish I could comfort him. He is never one to talk about his problems.... He would rather keep them to himself and soldier on.... I know it isn't healthy for him to keep everything bottled up like that, but I don't know how to make him open up to me... Sighs

If only he knew just how much I love him... And how much I worry about him. I know I should tell him, but he isn't the type to admit his feelings.... I wonder how he feels about me... Looks at the jacket she was sewing hopefully he'll like this. she thinks.

Suddenaly, my husband hugged me and say something...
"What are u doing my love??"

Gasps out of surprise then giggles slightly.. I replied back

"How did you know I was thinking about you?. i am glad that you are home! It's been a while since I have seen you!" Kisses him on the cheek "Did you get much work done today dear?"

Norvo then say
"Yeah... it had been a long day.. what u sewing actually?"

"I'm sewing a jacket for you dear" *I says happily*

"I was worried that you might be feeling cold in your travels"

Norvo gives his usual smile that always charmed me every time and say
"thanks dear... I kinda need a new one after all..."

"You're welcome dear" *She smiles and continues sewing* "So... How was your day dear? Anything interesting happened?"*She asks sweetly*

Norvo then say with sighing look...

"Is mostly about what had The Empire delegation had been doing... soo annoying... they always keep talking about forming an alliance... bla bla bla.. I know the fact all they want is to subjugate us completely..."

"Ugh tell me about it dear... Don't they know that we can't afford to align with one nation over the other in our current situation? We must maintain a neutral stance for as long as it is feasible.... But... To be blunt... Our resources are dwindling, and I am sure that those snakes are not unaware of that fact" *Sighs* "I am worried for our nation dear..."

Norvo then give another question look on his face...

"What is it dear?" *i asks, sensing that my husband had something else to express *

Norvo then say

"Isabella would be returning home with a delegation... she safe... our daughter would be back later..."

"Ah I see... How delightful dear! I have missed her a lot.... It has been a while since I last saw my little precious Princess Isabella"

The Empire...... they must be ones responsible of trying to assassinate our daughter...

*My expression suddenly changes. Shock is visible on my face as the news of a possible assassination attempt takes a while to register. My hand tightens around the sewing needle as i becomes more angry and disturbed by the thought* "Those snakes! How dare they put our precious daughter's life in danger?"

Norvo then say with comforting look...
"but... thankfully... one of the nobles she meet was able to help her... she said in her letter that his name is Lord Gobta Micheals of Centre Clan in Northern Mountains here.. That set of mountains near to our borders... i never expected there would be nobles there tho..."
