Lily’s POV:
Something had happened. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
I was packing my luggage and thinking about which pack to go to after everything. There was a sudden commotion in the courtyard. 1 looked out the window and saw the Queen hurrying to leave.
What happened? Was there another terrorist attack?
I couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought of this possibility. I hurriedly ran downstairs to find out what had happened.
Many people gathered in the courtyard, but most were strangely quiet. The couple in the center was the focus.
The Queen seemed very anxious, her trembling hands even revealing fear. The King Consort was standing beside her and consoling her in a low voice, although his expression was the same as the queen’s – anxious and thunderstruck.
No one expressed any opinion about this noble couple. They even showed a kind of understanding and tolerance mixed with pity.
I crept up to Alfred and whispered, “What happened?”
He frowned and sighed. “It’s the princes… They were in a car accident on the way to the airport. They were seriously injured and fell into a coma.”
“What?!” I cried out in surprise, attracting quite a few gazes, but none were as eye-catching as the couple.
“How did this happen? What about the security guards around them? The route should have been planned long ago. How could such an accident happen?” I was eager to know more, but a thought suddenly popped into my head. “Could it be a terrorist attack? Is it the Lily of the Valley again?”
Alfred shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know more. He only said, “It’s said that something went wrong with the security convoy. A security car suddenly accelerated and crashed into the car where the princes were. The driver couldn’t dodge in time and was hit head-on. Besides…”
“Besides what?”
“The Queen’s butler, Lady Kara, died on the spot.”
1 covered my mouth in disbelief to prevent myself from screaming.
How could this be…
I didn’t have much of a relationship with that Lady Kara. She was a nice person, and in the short time we spent together, even someone like me felt like she was bathing in a spring breeze. Yarin and Heller loved her very much. They called her ‘Grandma Kara’ and treated her as their closest family member.
This old lady, loved by the Queen and relied on by the princes, had died in a car accident caused by internal affairs.
I couldn’t imagine what an unacceptable tragedy this was. This old woman who had sacrificed her entire life for the royal family and the werewolves didn’t deserve such an ending.
As for Yarin and Heller, I couldn’t believe how sad they would be after hearing this news.
“What about the princes? How are they now?” 1 wanted to ask about their situation, but Alfred knew nothing about it.
I didn’t need his reply. From the Queen and King Consort’s reactions, 1 knew the situation was not good.
The noble couple finally ended their worries. The Queen endured her grief and accepted the King Consort’s suggestion. She had to return to the manor, the center of command, the safest place, and become the stabilizing force in everyone’s hearts.
The King Consort did not have that much responsibility. As a father, he would protect their children with the worry and grief of a mother.
The Queen staggered back into the house. A large group of people followed her in. I saw my grandfather and mother among them. Their worry was mixed with deep anger. They should be angry. They had to be angry. Whoever planned the attack on the princes was challenging their authority.
If this could not be explained satisfactorily, the Silver Moon family would become a sinner and a laughingstock in history.
Alfred didn’t leave with me. Facing my gaze, he explained, “1 don’t think Her Majesty wants to see anyone’s children now. This will remind her of her children, whose fates are unknown.”
1 was silent.
The smiling faces of Heller and Yarin appeared in my mind. Last night, we were still embracing each other and promised never to forget this precious friendship. However, 1 could never imagine that the accident happened so suddenly that all the warm memories and vows started to collapse.
“I want to see them…” I looked at the end of the road and unconsciously muttered.
Alfred had sharp ears and replied in all seriousness, “His Highnesses will be safe, but I don’t think they’ll be able to leave anytime soon. When they are out of danger, 1 think the Queen will allow you to visit them.”
I looked at him, and he said, “After all, you are friends, right? The Queen is a sentimental person. She cherishes her friends and will understand you.”
1 subconsciously want to refute it, but suddenly 1 thought of him saying that it was right, Yarin and Heller were my friends, and 1 didn’t need to use any excuse to see them.
It was just that I was used to being alone in the wilderness. Suddenly having such a soft relationship, I felt like I was dreaming.
‘You must be safe and sound.’
A gust of wind blew, sweeping the falling petals and carrying the soft wish like cotton away..
