Chương 96: Chapter 96 (the cause of her illness)

Aria was still having conversations with Alina in their room when a knock came at their door. They paused and the knock came yet again.

"Alina, are you in there?" That was the voice of the Queen and they immediately jolted on recognizing her voice.

They hesitated no further and Alina immediately stood up from the bed and went to open the door for her. As she opened the door, she could see the look of worry written on the Queen's face and it was obvious that she had been informed of Aria's ailment -- something that they have been trying to avoid all this while.

She walked into the room, her sole concentration and concern on Aria who was seated on the bed looking pale and weak. They greeted her but she ignored their greeting as she was more focused on the physical appearance of Aria.
