Avalyne Series 01: the Queen of Carleon
“How could she, after having glimpsed the terrible future that awaited their son?
Even as she took her place next to her king, her heart was pounding so hard beneath her breast that she feared he might hear it through the din of chattering voices around them. Try as she might, she could not force away the terrible memory of what her mother showed her. Surrounded by a sea of voices belonging to the people she cared most for in the world. Arianne felt like an island of loneliness, forced to en...dure her despair in secret.
To their credit, Celene and Keira attempted to support her wherever they could throughout the course of the evening. They interjected when she could not think of a thing to say and offered her pregnant state as an excuse when she lapsed into her own thoughts. If not for them, Arianne did not think she would have been able to maintain the gracious mask she wore for the benefit of those around her.
Lylea had chosen to withdraw for the evening, perhaps realising her continued presence at the banquet was only adding to her daughter's melancholic state.MoreLess
