Rowena looked at the box for a moment, before she smiled and reached out her hands to receive it. Even though she actually didn't want to accept the box, anything at all that had her father's trace on it, she decided not to make a scene and give face to her mother-in-law.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," she said with her gentle voice.
The queen nodded in satisfaction when she saw Rowena keep the box by her side. She said, "The box is a special box that can only be opened by people who share the same blood as the owner. So, it's of no use to anyone. None of us here can open it. But you can."
The queen added, "I don't know if you would like to have whatever it is that your late father left, but I didn't want to make an assumption and throw it out before I can give you the chance to look at what's inside and make your decision. There might be items that are valuable or important to you."
I will publish one more chapter soon.
