The morning was already bright when Queen magret and her son arrived at verums. The Queen was aware that the visit may not go as smoothly as she planned, so she already informed her spies to wait for her at the entrance.


    It was a festive period, so with a little disguise, the Queen was sure that she and her son could enter into the kingdom without raising any suspicion.


    "your highness," the group of men welcomes the Queen.


    "How it?" the Queen asked looking at the group of five.


    "Everything is set," one of the men said. The Queen nodded her head in understanding. Queen magret then informs her son that they need to be divided into smaller groups. Having a larger group like theirs enter into the Royal city together will definitely raise attention.


    Prince Sébastien did as he was told. He divided the twenty into a group of four. Who was immediately led in different directions by four of the men, the Queen had met.


    After they left, the man who was the leader of the five men then led the Queen and Sébastien into the Royal city of verums.


    "you can take it off," Queen magret said just before they got into the gate of Verums. His mask will attract undue attention to them. Prince Sébastien understood and took off his mask.


    The leader of the group did not dare turn to look at the prince. He has also heard different rumors about the prince. He honestly did not want to confirm it, so he lead the Queen and the prince into the royal palace as soon as possible.


    Prince Sébastien looked around and noticed the festival decorations everywhere.


    "This is a big festival," prince Sébastien commented as they continued to walk.


    "hmm, it is celebrated to remember the fist king of verums. King verum. It is believed he was the one that brought our people together. Before he started to lead, verums was known as a land of slavery. The people were weak and so mothers were forced to give away their children at a young. King verum was one of the lads that were taken away with a group of friends.


    They were all trained and turned to men of the swords. They were trained in the place known as Iron gate. It was said that men trained in the Iron gate were best with the sword.


    King Verum started talking to his friends and some other people that were taken away from verum. Some people were a bit scared. But under the leadership of verum, the trainers in the iron gate were killed.


    Verum lead a thousand five hundred men back to this place and killed all the salve master and step it free.


    The people and soldiers who survive the war, then name him King, and this place was also named after him. At that time Verums did not buy or sell salves. It is an abomination to this kingdom. This is why I am surprised that my brother decided to use such means to raise soldiers.


    It was said that Verum was crown king on this day hundreds of years ago. If you pay attention, you will notice that all decoration has been made in red and white. These colors are the king Verum''s favorite color, " Queen magret patiently explained everything to him.


    Because it was the celebration, the gate of the Palace was open to anyone. In the real sense, only the noble could get into the main Palace. The gate was only opened for commoners to access the open field.


    The leader leat them into the Palace and into the maid''s quarter.


    "Lady magret," an elderly woman welcomes the group of three. This woman did not believe that she would see lady magret with her eyes. When the leader of the group had informed her of Queen magret''s visit, she had thought her ears heard wrong.


    "you have grown old Nana,"  Queen magret commented when she saw her handmaid. Back when she still lived in Verums, this woman had been the one that care for her.


    "you have not changed at all my lady," Nana said with a sad smile.


    "Ahh! Nana, you are still a good lair. I am old now. How can you say I have not changed," Queen magret formed annoyance.


    "I am not lying my lady, you are still the most beautiful woman at your age, * Nana said.


    " If Nana says so then I will believe her, " Queen magret smiled innocently at the elderly woman and Nana did the same. Prince Sebastian on the other hand was surprised to see this childish side of his mother. He knew that his mother was smiling genuinely with no ill intention towards the woman.


    "My lady, who is the young man with you?" Nana asked. Sébastien looked a lot like his father, so it was impossible for the woman to guess that the Queen was his mother.


    "Nana, this is my son. His name is Sébastien," Queen magret replied with a smile.


    Oh! Nana was a bit surprised. She remembered that this lady had run away from home because she did not want to get married. She could still remember how lady magret went on and on about wanting to marry only a man that she like.


    Nana turned to great prince Sébastien but she became confused since she did not know how to address the young man before her. He looked noble but she was scared to address him wrongly.


    Queen magret saw through the woman''s worry. He is a prince, Nana" she told the woman.


    "Prince Sébastien" the woman slight bow in greeting


    "Come let us get ready, your brother will be overjoyed to see you. He searched restlessly for you after you left," Nana said as the group of three followed her inside.


    Queen magret sigh. She knew that her brother was not looking for her back then because he loved her, he did it because of her father. Her father would have missed her so much.


    The Queen and Sébastien got inside and changed their clothes. Because of the festive, many of the women will put on red dresses.


    Nana looked at the Queen, she had so many questions, she wanted to ask the Queen but she remain quiet. She knew that the time was not right..  Besides the Queen looked well, this is what matters to her the most.
