Chapter 52: The Letter, The Past...
"What was it?" Acantha asked as she opened the door and saw that Helion was talking to someone.
"It’s me, my lady." She heard the voice say, and she recognized that it was Ernie.
Acantha saw that Ernie handed Helion a letter, and she knew who it was from based on the Imperial seal of the Empress.
Helion opened the letter and read it, but instead of being happy to get a letter from his mother, Acantha saw irritation on his eyes when he read the letter.
"Is it an emergency?" Acantha asked as she was worried that the empress might send a letter for his son as they have an emergency.
Helion shook his head, and she heard him sighed as he put the letter down. Acantha was startled when Helion give her the letter and-
Dear Helion (I can call you Helion, right?),
Father told me that he saw you at North with Lady Acantha; he said that the lady was pushing you to stand against my father, but I wasn’t mad at you if you did. He also told me that he is not angry at you either.
The empress let me write a letter to you using her seal, as she wanted to tell you that she wasn’t angry at you either. My father told the empress that she shouldn’t blame you.
I wrote this letter to tell you I was worried about you. I think of you day and night. I think how are you doing? Are you fine? We were worried, as His Majesty won’t tell us where you are after you left the north.
Her Majesty was also so worried that she wanted to tell you to be careful. Also, tell Lady Acantha that her father may not forgive her, but we’re family. And tell her, I am not jealous of her being with you; well, maybe a little as she can be with you while I’m here in the capital waiting for you to comeback. I hope you are doing fine. Take care.
