She has been feeling unwell since she came. Coral recommended her healer, but the Queen wanted you. You know you were always her favorite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What healer did Coral want to bring?\" Loren asked suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sure yet. But if it’s who I think it is, it must be because.\" Hildegard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mogause?\" Loren said it with disgust. \"We all know what she is good for. Dabbling in dark arts here and there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why I was wary, and that’s why the Queen isn’t comfortable with her, even though she doesn’t know what she does,\" Hildegard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and raised his eyebrows. \"Let me see her. I had a potion made for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hildegard nodded quickly. \"Good. She is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she ushered us towards the large coach bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The queen was there, lying down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful black hair was neatly laid behind her head, and she slept peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes fluttered, and she saw Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled and said, \"Seeing a familiar face is good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty.\" He bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long has it been?\" The queen asked. \"Ten years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe it’s been seventeen years.\" He corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned and saw me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped again and gently set her hands on her forehead. \"I keep seeing her around again. I confused this poor serving girl with being my little Scarlet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stiffened, and Loren turned to look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay. She has a redhead, just like coral.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I crazy?\" She asked him like a child. \"Corral thinks I’m crazy. I’m starting to believe she is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren gave a tight-lipped facial expression. Hildegard had one, too, and I thought neither person liked Coral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you are not crazy, my queen.\" He said. \"You are still grieving, and that is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled. \"You always make me feel better. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave him her hand, and he kissed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he collected the bottles from me and made the medicine for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen was quiet and sometimes nodded whenever Loren asked her a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to soothe her, and I wanted to take the pain away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Queen had lost one of her daughters? And she had a redhead like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It broke my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wished I could bring her daughter to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know much about my mother except that she was an enslaved person who had been found in another pack when she was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I could imagine the hurt she must have felt living without family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like I had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Loren gave her the medicine in her glass goblet, she drank it gracefully and closed her eyes to take a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much for your services.\" She said. \"I wish you could come and live with me in my castle and always be there to help me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren bowed. \"Your Majesty is too kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door burst open, and the king himself came in.\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-06T04:22:13.101Z",1,"novelbin.me","44eaa72c28b6c27c68fe688f72c9c3a7825e743689640e9a09bff2bbbf8eecc5","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-60","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-58",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-cover.jpg"]
