Chapter 327: Winter Solstice Festival (Part Four)
It had been nearly hours since the Winter Midnight Ball started and nearly two hours past midnight but the ball was still going on with full energy. It seemed like people were barely feeling any tiredness as they just wanted to enjoy the night that made them forget about all the worries that were looming over their lives.
The festival had given their and people a chance to forget about their fear of the future which seemed too unclear at the moment.
Feeling slightly tired and overwhelmed from all the buzz, Annalise decided to get some fresh air. Despite not drinking any alcohol, her head was spinning and making her feel slightly nauseous.
"Mother, I want to go out and get some fresh air. I will be back in no time." She informed the Midnight Queen whom she had finally started addressing as ’mother’ during the past couple of days.
"Are you alright, child?" The Midnight Queen asked as worry took over her beautiful face. Her experienced eyes immediately searched Annalise’s face for any sign of discomfort.
"I am completely fine, mother. It’s just the atmosphere here is slightly overwhelming. So, I just want to get some fresh air." Annalise tried to make her mother-in-law worry less for her.
"Alright. If that will make you feel better then you can take a little walk outside in the side garden. Do you want me to accompany you?" The Midnight Queen offered as she agreed to Annalise’s request but before the latter could speak, a very familiar person spoke from beside her - "It’s alright, mother. We will be with her. So, you don’t have to worry about your precious daughter-in-law’s safety and well-being."
"Now, I can be at peace."
Annalise recently realized that her mother-in-law could be as dramatic as her husbands sometimes. She bowed politely as the Queen left them when someone nearby called for her.
