Deacon’s POV
I couldn’t believe that my mom would be moving so fast that she had already summoned Elena. Now, I couldn’t be more thankful to myself that I had warned her early about my mom, but I’m pretty sure that she was still surprised by it, especially with how early she had to face her.
Shaking my head, I stood up.
“Where are you going, Prince Deacon?” Tyson asked, looking clueless as he stepped aside from the door and followed me with questions in his eyes.
“You… You’re not planning to go to the Duchess and stop her, aren’t you? Because I think that will only make her even more irritated and have her hate Princess Elena even more,” he cautiously said as he tried to give me some advice.
Halting, I looked at him and gave him a smirk. “She’s my mother. I know her much more than you do.”
Tapping his shoulder, I added, “Don’t worry, it’s not her I’m going to.”
Furrowing his brows, he followed me, asking, “Who then? The king, I don’t think he’d help, though.”
Smirking wider, I answered, “The Queen Mother… I’m meeting Queen Liz.”
Getting his answer, he stopped following me while I went straight to the Queen Mother’s wing. The servants greeted me as I passed through the hallway, and when I arrived at her place, her personal servant announced my arrival.
I waited for a few minutes outside before she came back and opened the door for me. “Prince, the Queen is ready to meet you.”
After taking her, I walked inside and followed the servant who guided me into the balcony at the garden where the Queen was seated on the chair.
“Deacon.” She gave me a sweet smile as she gestured to the seat in front of her and signaled her servant to pour me a drink.
“What did you come here for?” She asked me with curiosity, but with the look she was giving me, I’d say she already had an idea why I came here.
“Your Majesty, I came here to formally inform you that I will be marrying Elena.” Looking at her with seriousness, I added, “The king has already been informed about it.”
Amusement flashed into her eyes. Raising a brow, she asked, “Is that so?”
Laughing a little, she continued, “And here I thought you’d never get married and have a wife in your life. I thought you’d live your entire life on the battlefield and marry the blood and death.”
A smirk–flashed into my lips. “Perhaps I just haven’t met the right person yet… Well, until now, that is.”
This was what I liked about the Queen Mother. She’s sweet and very easy to talk to. She could tease every now and then, and she was not the type to make a fuse out of everything. To say the least, she’s probably more of a mother to me than my actual mother.
She nodded her head in amusement and delight as she raised her teacup and took a sip from it, “Elena is a strong- willed girl, but she is without a doubt a good lad.”
Placing down her teacup, her smile widened. “I had hope that someone worthy of her would see her value, and I

couldn’t be more glad that it was you.”
I smiled upon hearing her blessing and approval. At least there’s someone in this cold palace who seems genuinely happy about my marriage with Elena.
Nodding my head, my smile got brighter while I thought of Elena. “She indeed is. She deserves every respect there is and…”
My smile vanished after I was reminded of my mother…
“And what?” Queen Liz asked, alarmed,
Shaking my head in dismay, I continued, “…and not the trouble she’ll face because of my mother.”
Looking up at her, I shrugged and shook my head in sadness. “You know how she can be.”
Hearing that, her face dimmed a little as well, and she scoffed, “Considering your mother’s pride, things will indeed be difficult for both of you, especially Elena. But don’t worry…”
Smiling, she raised her brow and gave me a knowing look. She won’t have the final say, and I will ensure that sweet Elena will not face any mistreatment in this kingdom”
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but smile, knowing that I had gone to the right person for help.
Grabbing the teacup in front of me, I raised it and cheered with the Queen. “I appreciate it, Your Majesty. I couldn’t thank you enough in advance.”
After taking a sip, she rested it down on the coaster and smiled knowingly at me. “You just came back from war and are already busy with so many things. Don’t forget to take care of yourself.”
With that, she signaled, and a servant came in with a box in her hand and handed it over to me.
Reluctantly, I accepted it and opened it with curiosity to find the finest sets of medicinal pills, creams, and ointments.
“You always know what I need,” I said with utmost gratitude as I closed it.
