Kapitel 266: Violet: Woodland Creatures

17 June, 1348. Magdaline Castle, Islia.

The events to commemorate Prince Leo's birthday had been the favourite conversation topic of the courtiers for weeks. He was turning one and twenty, a significant milestone. His doting mother was determined to celebrate for the entire day and night.

Then again, she had to grudgingly admit that despite her favouritism for her eldest, Queen Celia was a warm and loving mother to all of her sons, and they all seemed to adore her in return. She was especially soft on the two youngest boys, who were constantly creating mayhem.
