Mother persuade brother to stay but brother Carlos is going back to the knighthood house.

"Brother why won't you let brother Carlos stay?"

"*smile* Raj always do that well he is also second in me which he look to our brothers even new recruit knights."

"I see.."

I did not see if he smile nor grin but I just felt the warm big hand of my brother. We both went into our mother's room. *knock-knock-knock*

"Come in."

Coming from mother, Mother, she is weak when it comes, there were gathering from every dukedom and she get headache and even collapse. She hate people only to get closer to her because the king and my father were closes brother (they are not real brother it is only they call each other because they were close that's all) now looking at her she is really pale."

"Mother, don't push yourself. Father will be home soon."

"Mother would you like some tea?"

Mother look at me and smile.

"Yes, dear if you may, I would like to have some tea."

Mother always smile but looking at her I feel bad. Leaving the room and went straight to the kitchen Maine, who following me suddenly grab my hand.

"Miss? Why are you going in the kitchen? You can always ask me."

"*chuckle* Silly Maine. It is not I don't trust you nor I won't asked favor but the tea that I want is no one know about it."

"Then Miss, what kind of tea is your liking then?"

"*smile* southern tea."

Maine follow me to the kitchen the people in the kitchen was surprise to see their miss walking around in the kitchen and even held a pot but I don't mind them all I think is mother's tea to relief her headache in my first life their was from southern people arrive at the castle as guest, I was regaila at the time, lady in waiting be the crown prince wife and the next empress. Dealing to the southern I have lock myself in the study room to understand, even learn their life and language and the tea is the only that I love the most. They were praise in different kingdom and empire because of their unique taste and crafts. After finishing brewing the tea I left with a tray in my hands Maine keep pestering me to stay a little. I didn't know nor what was I heard but

"You can't Father! Why were you agree to do this! Sam just recovered and mostly doesn't want to leave the house nor stepping the same land to those hyprocite people!"

"I don't have a choice Henry it was the King suggest to all young lady to visit the castle for the chance to meet the two princes I do not have a choice neither would I react only your uncle want to change the topic as soon it is about the two princes. *sigh* I do not have a choice."

Father, Mother and brother in sorry but I won't run away nor I would meet his highness the crown prince. I barge in.

"Sammy!"

"Samantha..."

"Sam.."

I know the moment I went in I knew they have the hint about me, who was standing behind the door.

"Mother, Father and Brother... I'll go."

Father's POV.

Sam just woke up and I have to attend the assembly as the way it was. My wife comes with me to attend the ladies tea time as the always they did.

"My lord, we have arrive."

"Thank you, Fredrick."

"Fredrick why don't you stay at the coaches dine and have a break."

"I'll do that Duchess Fiona. Thank you."

I took my wife hand as she walk down slowly while hold the other hand her gown to see her feet while going down. We both walk toward the house of archduke, who also my cousin she is Archduchess Cecil Von Druke and his husband the Archduke Gabriel Lenord Von Druke.

"Fiona~!!"

Ah... She's here...

"*sigh*"

"*chuckle*"

"dear??"

"Dear husband, Cecil is your cousin and beside we haven't seen after Sam got sick."

"*sigh* I know dear it just that. I suddenly feel lonely."

"Geez! Matiaz, I have seen you every council and I haven't seen Fiona for so long beside you have promise me Matiaz that when Fiona here she'll stay with me."

Cecil drag my wife without me saying a word back at her *sigh* I felt a hand on my shoulder and it was Cecil husband Gabriel.

"Good noon to you Gabriel."

"And to you as well. It seems my wife took your wife again?"

"*sigh* I just let it of this time. Fiona need a break after all what happened to our daughter."

"Speaking of your daughter? How is she?"

"It was a miracle Gabriel my daughter survive and now she's eating and walking a little after all she stayed in bed for so long."

"in happy to hear that. Cecil was also worried she suddenly run off when the clock bell at 6."

"What? Why did she that? And where is she going at that time? "

"Our coachman says Cecil went to church to pray I thought she did that for Samantha be well as soon as possible and maybe for her to see your wife Duchess Fiona, of course *chuckle*"

I was surprise to hear that. My daughter Samantha she is our blessing after all because she is the last gift to is by my aunt, Cecil's mother.

"Thank you"

I don't what the archduke expression was but I feel deeply move and shed in tears a little. Fiona and I knew without them we knew we might giving up hope for Sam but we didn't.

"Thank you..."

I whispered. I only felt a hand patting my back but I never knew someone from the council made a plot even the archduke did not know.
