Chapitre 90: Chapter 90: 90

The palace was alive with the presence of Alfonso's family members. It had been a week since his sister, Infanta Beatriz, and his brother, Prince Javier de Borbón, returned from their vacation in the Philippines. Their mother, Queen Victoria Eugenie, had decided to stay in the Philippines for an extended period, and their visit was an opportunity for them to reconnect.

The family gathered in the grand sitting room, where Alfonso welcomed them warmly. The room was adorned with ornate furniture and intricate tapestries, a reflection of the palace's grandeur. Maria, Alfonso's wife, and their son, Miguel, were also present, adding to the familial atmosphere.

Alfonso addressed his mother, who sat regally in her chair. "Mother, it's wonderful to have you back with us. How was your trip around the Philippines?"
