<div style="text-align: center">As they arrived to the throne room and Valentine rather seemed to be eager to dig a little deeper into this situation. Rather annoyed by the people who were ready to approach her, while Valentine leaned in to speak to her, she led him towards the throne, where they stood close as if they were awaiting the Queen formally, while nobody else was allowed to stand near the throne, not unless summoned or brought by someone of royal blood.<br/>

Once Valentine shared his thoughts, Ellanore let out a sigh and kept her voice down, only for him to hear. "It's not that early, Valentine." she confessed. "Varus and I were together before anyone in the public knew. He was a different man then. And once we became public and my mother stated that she already made documents about our marriage because she saw us being close and noticed a potential, she already arranged a marriage. And since then, nothing was the same. And I'm not going to lie, Valentine... I don't want him to come back from his trip. I wish he never returned." Ellanore said as her eyes were glued to the entrance, as if she was not anticipating, but was genuinely afraid that he would come through those doors. She didn't know why she was so afraid, nor why she feels so compelled to tell Valentine this. It urged her to let it all out to him. An outsider, someone who won't judge.​</div>
