The brightness of the day was not able to overcome the gloominess of the Empress Palace for over a week.
Leaning comfortably on a soft luxurious chesterfield sofa, Empress Carolina was immersed in deep contemplation as she sipped the glass of red wine in her hand.
Her thoughts wandered deeply onto her son whom she was not able to contact for so long. The matter of being publicly questioned during the morning council was a great blow on her son's status and power.
She clearly saw how his influence wavered after the matter blew up.
Equally helpless, she was not able to say anything when Kazimir lashed out on her and her brother Maxim after the council meeting.
All she could do was watch in shock upon hearing the news and the intense quarrel between her brother and son.
Boom!
