180 "Her"

"Why did you send for me?" Ivan asked his mother curiously as soon as he joined her in the pavilion beside the lake.

It was surprising that she would want to see him so early in the morning and at such a location before breakfast. 

Even though it was just the two of them around there, she still looked around before she cautiously asked in a low voice, "Were you aware that Harold was attacked when he left the palace with his wife a while ago?" 

"He was attacked?" Ivan asked, surprised.

The queen didn't seem to buy the act, and she glared at him, "Do not fool me. I remember you saying you hoped he wouldn't return. Did you have anything to do with it?" She asked sternly. 

"What? You are suspecting me now?" He asked, looking pissed. 

"You gave me a reason to." She reminded him.
