Bab 175: The broken mirror (6)

"What does that mean?" 

Regina turned and pulled Marlena into her arms. "You cannot be with Prince Destrian." 

Marlena wanted to ask why but Regina had already let go of her and walked out of the room. 

"Why?" She asked into thin air. This was not just about the feud between the two kingdoms. If it was only that, Regina wouldn't have such a strong reaction to it. 

After standing in the same spot and thinking about it for a while, she decided the air probably didn't have any answers for her. She wanted to climb into bed and fall asleep and try to forget everything but she knew she couldn't miss dinner if the royal family was expecting her to be at the table with them. 

It made sense, considering there were still visitors in the castle and they all thought she was the princess. There had already been questions about her not joining them for breakfast and lunch.
