What she regretted the most about losing Archon was that her children’s father was stolen from them along with their childhood. They deserved so much more than what they were given, and it seemed like it was everyday the Empress wished she could change the past.

He gave her unabashed affection and she returned his nuzzles grateful he didn’t think himself too old to give his mother some love.

Belle wanted the truth but she didn’t want to press him either. ”What brings you to see me?” He was very much allowed to just come and see her, but if he needed anything she wanted to be there for him.
