บท 169: Broke my heart [Bonus chapter]

"Royal Mother, I heard from Prince Édouard how you requested him to take us away from here," Charlotte said.

"I should not have bore the humiliation His Majesty gave me all these years. My son also has to suffer seeing me in this state. He chose to stay in Wexnon because I could not stop His Majesty from debauchery," Anneliese said, controlling her tears from falling.

"Royal Mother, did His Majesty say something bad to you today? Royal Mother considers me as her daughter. Why she doesn't share it with me? She will feel better," Charlotte suggested to her.

Anneliese shook her head when Charlotte said, "I will keep it a secret from Prince Édouard. I know Royal Mother doesn't want her son to find out about it. However, she can trust me and tell me. I won't tell Prince Édouard anything." She wanted to lessen Annaliese's pain.
