Chapter 42 Arrest Her

• I sat beside the queen in a quiet room, trying to offer any comfort I could. She clung to her grief, her sobs shaking her entire frame. My heart broke for her, but I felt so helpless.
• "Your Majesty, please, you need to be strong," I said softly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure this is all a mistake. We'll find out what happened. Please, just hold on."
• The queen looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. "How can this be a mistake, Elena? My husband is gone! What will I do without him?" she cried, her voice breaking.
