"Queen mother," Korr bowed his head and did a proper courtesy that she had only seen in shells that had a royal timeline going on. She stood there next to her bent mate awkwardly.

"Ahem, ahwm," she glanced down at him who was looking at her pointedly. She opened her mouth to ask what was wrong because she could not figure it out. Why was he looking at her like that?

​​

"Nevermind that," Tessa heard Cassandra laugh,"she is not going to understand it here at. Let her take as much time as she wants. At ease, ambassador."

" Yes, your highness," he stood up straight, " if I may dare, have we displeased you in any way to have such a sudden visit?"

"No, no," she smiled gently, "I know I should have sent a call first before visiting you, but I did not want to wait anymore. I am here to talk to you and meet your mate Theresa."

" Oh, um—"

"Everything is fine, ambassador, I assure you that. I just need to talk to Adeline's aunt."

That did the trick. Tesla watched as the man nodded and stepped out of the room to give them privacy. Whatever she had seen in the king and queens and palaces on TV shows it was kind of followed here as well. The ladies did have a sitting room and she had a personal one where Korr could not enter if she did not allow him to.

This was a certain advantage even though she thought that this was highly unwanted. For the first month that she had arrived here Tessa had only been with her niece and after that straight to this room making sure that she had locked her mate out.

No one said a word as Korr left the room and closed the door behind him.

"Tell me now," Tessa took a seat immediately as she took a seat and Cassandra did as well, "What is it about Adeline you have to come here so suddenly? It's not even breakfast yet."

Cassandra state quiet for a moment as she tried to gather her thoughts. Even though she was the queen mother which she had been made recently it did not come easy to hurt to discuss her child with someone else when she had never felt the need to do so before. This was not her child that she was just discussing but also his maid who was the niece of the woman that she was talking to. If anything it said highly interested in doing something like this but she knew that she could not just let it go on.

"Well, this might come off as a bit. . "

Tessa scoffed, "you don't need to warn me about anything. I am literally in a whole other world where people shift into animals. I don't think I require any more warnings."

"Adeline's in jail."

Tessa blinked back and was shocked but stayed quiet. Her mouth opened as she leaned back into the seat and stared at the woman.

"J-jail?" She stuttered out and Cassandra nodded. "Jail? My baby is in jail?" She repeated again and the expressions on Cassandra's face did not change. She only time and again confirmed that it was the truth.

"What do you mean!" Tessa spoke loudly frankly and was raised by the fact that her niece was in the hospital days ago and was now in jail! "Why would you put someone who has been lying on the bed in a coma immediately into jail? What have you done? Adaline would never try to hurt anyone willingly!"

" She threw a glass jar at him." Cassandra told her mother dryly. Even though it was true that Adeline was kind, intelligent and a gentle soul just like a Luna was supposed to be for the path Adelaide could hurt anyone if she tried to and her words repeatedly for Xavier water proof of that.

"We-well," Tessa stuttered and pointed her hand at her, "so what? A fly cannot hurt anyone, but flies carry more deadly diseases and anyone else!"

Cassandra thought about it and nodded, " True," she agreed, "but it does not have the fact that she's not coronated as a princess or even a clean and showing something at me that could have seriously injured me does not work well in her favour especially since Xavier were there to witness it."

"That boy!" She muttered in exaggeration. "I don't understand this former my maid has repeatedly told me that they get healed very easily and how fortunate I was if I got marked by him and have good quality jeans in me that would heal me of anything. You are a werewolf by birth. Does it not matter to you that you could have healed within moments even if a glass piece was stuck inside you?"

The Queen mother took a huge breath in and shook her head, "I. . . Yes, it wouldn't have really mattered if I was hit by what Adaline wanted to throw at me. But by the law of the land I am the queen mother, someone who is taking out her responsibilities and it does not play well with everyone else out there."

" Why?" She bluntly asked, " does my knees not get any kind of perks by being mated to your son? If a queen cannot enjoy a few perks by being married to the king then what is the purpose of being a queen at all? She could have been a maid instead."

" That is not the point. " Cassandra stirred the ship back to the topic at hand. They were more important things and to talk about The perks coming to Adeline as a Queen. "The point is that we have to make sure—"

"Sure of what?" Tessa without having regard for the woman and the power that she came with stood up and glared down at her. "That is the exact problem Cassandra. You do not care for my knees, you care for your son and his mate, not my niece, not her." She stressed on the words, "And I believe that if my child has been landed in jail then that is because of the fact that you were not paying attention to her."
