"Huh? But I didn't do anything?" Emmelyn rubbed her chin "What do you mean?"

Maxim just patted her back and walked away She didn't need to do anything to soothe his feelings She just needed to be there with him

That's what he wanted to say However, he decided to just keep it to hiht

"Let's eat dinner I already asked Horatio to serve us Summerian's best dishes You will like the back Eo to his private dining rooether Horatio went to her chamber and took her there The butler said the queen sent theard but she was too unwell to join them for dinner So, she would eat in her chamber

"Is yourconcerned She did notice how the queen ether earlier

Maxim nodded "Yeah she has been sick a lot lately after my father and brothers passed away I am her only reason to live"

"Thank you One of my brothers died when I ay, and the other one died one year after I took the throne I think my family is just unlucky with sons," Maxim replied flatly

He added, "Now, I adoer has anysons but ht over the throne They will just destroy Sule"

Emmelyn was in ahen she listened to Maxidom and his responsibility This ether before she went to Draec Emmelyn could sympathize with Maxim's situation

"What is that on your hair?" Kira's voice suddenly broke the ice She was sitting across from Emmelyn and she pointed at Eht ear"

Emmelyn rubbed her hair to check but Maxim was faster He reached out and took a jacaranda petal from Emmelyn's hair He said, "This must be from the tree earlier"
