Jasmine did not return to her residence after visiting James; she chose to go to the Queen's courtyard to meet her mother. If you're feeling upset like now, Jasmine's place of escape is the Queen's abode.

The Queen's courtyard was in the kingdom, a residence separate from Jasmine's palace. She asked King Arthur to let her stay outside the main palace.

Since James was exiled, the Queen had been sick, so King Arthur couldn't refuse her request, let alone a courtyard. King Arthur would even do anything for the comfort of his Queen.

The yard owned by the Queen is vast and beautiful. It has many trees and lovely gardens. The garden is filled with lilies of various colours, making it look fantastic and pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the view is unique when you see it from a high place.

The combination and contrast between each colour represent the colours of the rainbow, which always makes Jasmine very comfortable living in her mother's yard. Jasmine had even once begged her mother to let her stay in her yard for a few days because Jasmine wanted to linger there.

The Queen's Courtyard was the most beautiful place in the kingdom; even the central palace gardens were less gorgeous than they were. Although it is lovely, only some people can visit it. Only the royal family, the Queen's servants, and soldiers guard the residence.

"Mother..." Jasmine called.

The door squeaked due to a push from outside. She was making the woman leaning on the head of the bed turn to the source of the sound. Her beautiful face was exposed to the twilight sun, preventing her hidden beauty from being revealed.

"Jasmine."

"What are you doing Mom?"

Jasmine carried herself to the Queen's bed, sitting her buttocks on the edge of the bed so that she could see her mother's face more clearly. Even though she was middle-aged and had two grown children, the Queen did not look old.

Even though her skin is always smooth and bright, sometimes many people think that the Queen is more suitable to be Jasmine's older sister than the mother who gave birth to her. He looks much younger than his current age.

Even though she looked weak and pale, the Queen's beauty did not fade. It is said that the Queen was the number one beauty in the kingdom when she was a teenager. Besides being beautiful, the Queen is famous for her polite demeanour and intelligence. King Arthur, now her husband, is one of the many men who fell in love with the Queen.

If you think King Arthur can easily make the Queen his wife, that's a big mistake. In fact, at the beginning of King Arthur's approaching the Queen, the Queen did not glance at King Arthur, who at that time had the status of a Prince.

The Queen is not interested in King Arthur's power and wealth; the Queen is a very humble girl who likes to help people experiencing poverty. Marrying a royal successor like King Arthur had never crossed his mind.

She prefers men who work hard, stand up, have courage, and like to help underprivileged people around her. The Queen is a very anti-arrogant noble who loves to boast about their parents' status, wealth, and power.

Just hearing it, the Queen shuddered in disgust. When she saw King Arthur for the first time, she did not have an excellent first impression of him either. In his eyes at that time, King Arthur was very cold and arrogant and had no respect for people of lower status than him.

He should be friendly by giving a little smile to the person who greets him. However, the man did not do that at all. He nodded like a bird, listened to their greeting, and left.

From there, the Queen's first impression of King Arthur was terrible. When King Arthur expressed his feelings and wanted the Queen to be his life partner, the Queen even dared to refuse because she didn't like King Arthur's attitude.

Since then, King Arthur has tried to change himself to be a little more friendly and respectful of others. To show the Queen that he can change and deserve to be a husband to the Queen.

Like a stone hit by drops of water daily, the Queen's heart melted over time because of King Arthur, who never gave up on her and whose attitude slowly changed significantly. Ultimately, they married and had James and Jasmine, who complemented their little family.

"Reading," she replied.

"What are you reading?" Jasmine stretched her neck to examine the writing in the book the Queen was reading.

"Just a book about flowers."

"—oh, Mom I want to tell you something."

The Queen raised her eyebrows in astonishment when Jasmine lowered her voice to a whisper. She also brought his face closer to the Queen so the Queen could hear her voice more clearly.

Jasmine's eyes were also wary, and when she looked around her mother's room, the girl made sure no one overheard the conversation between her and the Queen. That's what the Queen saw from her daughter's strange movements.

"Why are you speaking in such a whisper, Jasmine?"

"Mother, I just visited James, in the castle behind the palace," said Jasmine.

Hearing James' name, her previously weak and powerless face brightened up. The Queen is always happy when she hears the news from James, as it has been two years since she has seen James.

Queen misses James very much, but how can they not see each other? Remembering how he is today and the state of James, who can't get out of his castle.

"Is James all right, how is he now?" cried the Queen, even forgetting the book she was reading.

"Mom definitely won't believe what I'm about to say, James is practicing swordsmanship, Mom. I saw it with my own two eyes."

"Is that true!"

Jasmine nodded her head enthusiastically. It had been long since she had looked at her mother with such sparkling eyes. The middle-aged woman was usually gloomy, thinking about James being locked up in the back castle.

"Does that mean that I will soon meet My son, Jasmine?"

"Sure, ma'am, but James asked me not to tell anyone about this. However, I couldn't bear to tell Mother, because I knew Mother would be delighted to hear this news."

"Of course, I'm very happy. It's been a long time since I haven't seen your brother's handsome face." A bright smile continued to be etched on her slightly blushed face; even the lines of his smile could probably reach her ears.

"Wait, ma'am. Soon James will meet Mother. Also, our family situation will return to being warm as before."

Yes, Jasmine hoped that everything would return to normal as before.
