"Tell me who she is and how did you end up marrying her..." Queen Marianne looked at her son intently. "Did something bad happen to you there that they forced you to marry?"
This news was shocking to her. Six years ago... Nicholas was only 21. He was too young for marriage. At least that's what the queen dowager thought. Was her son set up by a woman?
Nicholas nodded. "Yeah... something really bad happened. It looks like I took a big quantity of wolfsbane when I was in Hauntingen, to cure my lycanthropy. It had a really bad side effect. I got sick, lost my memories, and the rest... you already know what happened."
Queen Marianne pressed her lips in shock. She could finally see what happened to Nicholas after he left the royal palace six years ago for Hauntingen. The queen understood why Nicholas made such a rash decision by taking that much wolfsbane and it had affected his life badly.
