Chapter 109: A Mother

Instead of going back to her palace, Mineah had a quick stroll around the Corvus Palace with the Queen Mother walking beside her. Eventually, they stopped in front of a two-story pavilion that stood on an islet at the center of a square pond located in the rear garden of the palace.

She had already seen the place once, and she had longed to visit it ever since. But thankfully, it would seem that she finally got the chance to do so while everyone else was busy fixing Rosela's mess.

Mineah smiled upon seeing the bridge that was connected to the northern part of the pond. It was the same bridge that connected Corvus to Amaranth Palace.

"Such a beautiful lover's bridge," the Queen Mother hummed beside her. "My husband and I loved to kill time in this area back in the day. Also, the water in this pond is drawn from the groundwater near Mount Pais. We loved to hang out here to fish and write poetry." 

Mineah looked around and nodded in satisfaction. True enough, the pond was inhabited by carp and aquatic plants including lotus flowers and the like. Likewise, the pavilion itself displayed outstandingly beautiful architectural features. With its hexagonal stone foundation with an equally hexagonal roof, it was harmonious in its proportions and gracefulness.

"Come and join me for some tea before going back to Amaranth Palace," Rania hummed.
