Chapter 368: Ambermoon Festival 1
"Rhea, I think our daughter might be in trouble again," Norman remarked as the two strolled through the vast garden that surrounded their estate in the early morning light.
"I asked Venus if she was feeling well, but she hasn’t been very responsive," Rhea replied, a note of concern in her voice. "Do you think she might need a change of scenery? Perhaps we should take her somewhere new."
Norman sighed, his expression thoughtful. "I believe she’s feeling lonely, dear."
"That could very well be the case," Rhea agreed, her worry deepening. "Most of her friends are married and settling into their lives. Just yesterday, I heard from one of her friend’s mothers that their daughter is expecting. I can’t help but think we could have made a more informed decision when arranging Venus’s marriage. So much has happened since then, and it feels like Venus has been losing herself little by little."
Norman nodded, his expression turning somber. "That was my mistake too. Now, it was all in the past. Regretting it won’t give us any results," he asserted. "I have a thought lately," he added.
"What is it?" Rhea asked, eager to hear his idea.
"Why don’t we invite Alora and Prince Magnus to visit?" Norman suggested. "Prince Magnus has the ability to read minds and he can see what Venus is truly going through. What do you think?" He waited for Rhea’s response, watching her closely.
"That’s a wonderful idea, my Lord. I’ll send a messenger later today. Hopefully, they’ll be available," Rhea replied, her tone hopeful.
"Alora always makes time for us; don’t worry about that," Norman assured her. "As much as Venus insists she’s not interested in marriage, I can tell she’s envious of those around her who have found happiness. I can feel it," he said with conviction.
