Third Person's POV
The sun was shining brightly. Serena who is unconscious for almost four days finally woke up. She moved at her previous position to avoid the sun light from hitting her face. The windows were open at the room where she is that allows the sun to shine brightly inside.
She shifted yet again from her position but the light was still blinding her eyes so she opened her eyes. It was her Mom who is at the mini table fixing the roses is the first that she saw.
"Mom.." she called her softly.
When Erin heard the voice of her daughter, she quickly turned around and almost run close to her to give her a hug.
"I miss you so much Mom." Serena said in a shaking voice because she is now crying.
She don't know but when she saw her Mom, she felt the tears instantly invading her eyes. Maybe because she's been longing to see her Mom whom she didn't seen for almost a week.
Erin also cried especially when she got to hug her daughter once again.
"I miss you too my little dummy." She said as she keeps on kissing Serena's forehead.
The room was filled with nothing but longing and cries. The only sound that you will hear is Serena's muffled cries with her Mom saying she missed her.
Scarlet who is watching outside the room is also crying. She's with Aya, Calla, Jas, Max and Jester. They were all crying as they witness the scene.
When Serena finally stopped crying, Erin wiped the remaining tears in her cheeks.
"Sshh. Don't cry. Mom's here. I won't be going anywhere now. That's a promise. I love you okay?" Erin spoke softly, full of love.
But instead, Serena cried harder when she heard what her Mom told her.
"You're making me cry Mom," she said in between her cries that made Erin laugh.
"I'm sorry. I just missed you."
And then they hugged each other again. Enjoying the moment.
"How about we go for a walk? You need to breath fresh air." Erin said when Serena finally stopped crying.
She also thought she'll get the chance to finally tell Serena the truth.
Scarlet and the guys immediately left the room when they heard what Erin said. They wouldn't want to get caught for sure.
Serena's POV
"Cassopeia is really beautiful Mom. Almost everything was enchanting."
I was looking at the wide flower garden infront of us. Jester didn't bring me here so I am amazed when Mom brought me here.
"You like it?" She asked.
I quickly nodded. "Super."
The roses were in full bloom. There's blue, white, red, and green roses. Yellow and purple roses were also present. But I do love the purple ones.
"Can I pick them Mom?" I ask as I walk near the purple roses that are fixed properly in a pot.
"Sure. You can pick whatever you want." She said smiling so I quickly pick one.
"Right Mom, next week is the annual parade for Her Highness. Will you come?" I asked when I remembered about that.
I had been waiting for that day because I wanted to see her. And ofcourse I wanted Mom to see her too.
Mom smiled. "The annual parade is finished little dummy."
My forehead creased as I look at Mom. "It's finished already? I thought that is next week?"
"Yes it's next week but that week is already over." Mom said chuckling. "And you slept for five days that's why you didn't witness it."
My eyes widen. "FIVE DAYS?!" I ask, shocked. "Luh, are you serious Mom?"
Mom laughed as she nodded. My mouth went agape. Then that made me think. The last thing I remembered is when we are Rviola and I passed out because my head suddenly stings in pain. Okay. That explains why but seriously five days?
I pouted. "That's sad. That was my only chance to see Her Highness."
"Do you really want to see her?" Mom asked.
"Ofcourse Mom. The people loved and adored her so much. She is surely kind that's why I wanted to see her." I said smiling.
Mom smiled at me as she walks through the roses infront of us.
"But you already saw her and you even talked to her."
"Huh?" I answered. "Yes I saw her Mom but I only saw her back. We greeted her but we didn't get any response from her."
Well that's true. I already saw her in the office of Miss Scarlet. I am with Calla that time but I only saw her back.
"Nope. You are wrong. You already saw her and you are even talking to her right now." Mom said.
"Where did I---" I stop in mid-sentence when I realized what Mom means.
I froze in my place as I look at Mom with my eyes wide open. And she is just looking at me and she was smiling sweetly at me.
"What do you mean Mom?" I asked her even if I get what she meant.
"You heard it just right my little dummy. And I'm sorry that it  take me too long to finally tell you the truth. I don't want you to be in trouble so I did all my best to take you far away but I was wrong. True enough I was able to take you away from physical pain all this years but I didn't know that you are hurting because of what I'm doing. I am very sorry but what can I do, I love you my little dummy and I'll do everything just to make sure you are safe." Mom explained.
And she was crying. So I quickly run to her and hugged her.
"Come on Mom. That was okay. Atleast you already told me. I totally understand where you are coming from. No need to be sorry." I said. I smiled and this time I was the one to wipe away her tears.
I was shook but my love for my Mom is bigger than anything else. Even if she would hide a secret or do something that will hurt me, I would still forgive her. She was my Mom after all.
I actually kind of expected this already. Especially when the people of Rviola thought I was her.
"Ohgod, I love you my daughter." Mom said as she hug me for the nth time today.
"I love you too Your Highness.." I answered as I laughed.
She then pinched my cheek lightly. "Silly. Drop the formalities. I don't want it. I prefer you calling me Mom."
"Okay Your Highness." I answered.
And we run through the garden like we were kids. My heart is happy. I don't know if people will treat me differently because of this but one thing is for sure, I won't treat Mom differently.
She maybe the Queen that everyone respects and adore but for me, she is still the same Mom that I knew. And my view of her won't change.
After talking with Mom, I went to look for Calla and the guys. I am sure, they are worried about me.
"Jester, I can't breathe .." I said when Jester hugged me tightly.
"Let her be Serena. Do you know that in the five days that you are unconscious, he stayed up all day and night to watch over you?" Max said chuckling.
"True. We're even worried that he might be the next one to sleep for five days if you didn't woke up." Jas added.
I chuckled as I quickly pinched Jester's side.
"Ouch!" He complained that made him let go of the hug.
"Don't repeat that ever again. Look dark circles were still visible under your eyes." I said when I noticed the eye bugs in her eyes.
I shook my head. I am sure he didn't mind what others said so Max didn't do anything about it. Tsk.
"I am okay. I mean, this is me." He said arrogantly but you can see the tiredness in his face.
"Sus. You should rest. You might get sick if."
"No--" he reasoned out but I pulled him.
"Nope. You need to rest." I said with finality.
After I pulled him into his room where he don't want to sleep but because I force him and he's really sleepy, he slept. That's why I returned at the Pavilion hall where Aya and the guys stayed.
"So, how are you Serena?" Max asked.
"Don't worry. I'm fine. Like super fine." I said smiling.
"Goodness good thing you woke up. We're worried about you and Jester is also making us worried." Jas said.
I laughed. "Sorry we made you guys worried."
"Anyway, did Her Highness already told you..?" Aya asked and didn't even finish her sentence.
And I immediately get what she meant. Maybe Mom already told them. Then I pointed a finger at each of them.
"I don't want you to treat me differently because of what you knew okay? I swear, I am not going to talk to you ever." I warned them.
Then they all laugh.
"Yah, why are you laughing? I am serious!"
Aya quickly held me in my arms. "Don't worry Serena. Even if we knew already, you are still the Serena that we met. That won't change."
"We can assure you that Princess." Calla said as she curtsy at me.
"Calla!!!" I shouted but she just laugh at me.
And I didn't do anything when they all started teasing me.
Maybe being different is not actually good.
