She was getting used to this and she just couldn’t stop it at all.“Please be at ease and rise,” she said and the woman did rise up.“I’m sorry to barge here like this but I need your help,” she said.“What kind of help do you need from me?” she asked, she didn’t want to pry for herself.

People were taking pictures and even videos. He saw that Talia became aware of him and yet she didn’t even move an inch. The Talia he knew even for the past weeks she would welcome him home and was just as calm but this one was very angry.“Your Highness,” she said as she stood up when he arrived.“Talia, what’s going on here?” he asked her.“I’m waiting for him to prepare my food and the rest of their food,” she said and offered him a seat.“No, you can sit,” he said and she did.“So, what are you doing here?” she asked as if she didn’t know.“I heard about what you were doing and was worried so I came.”“Is that really the reason?” she asked him masking her anger with a smile.
