The Author's Pov.
"Men's quarters, of course" Queen Valeria mumbled. She knew luck was not on side today. Why on Earth did the prince stand at the entrance? Did someone informed him of their plans?
"To see who?" he asked again. His voice was calm so she could easily tell that he was not angry
"Must I tell you who I want to see?" she faked a smile. He was the man in charge of all the empire right now. She had to obey all instructions even if he stops her from living the harem.
Prince Edward walked to where she stood and frowned at her. Her question must have pissed him off this time "No, queen. As you can see the emperor is not around. He should be the only one you should be looking for by this time of the night."
