[You're Hollyberry Cookie] [𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢𝚋𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚍𝚘𝚖] Being a ruler wasn't easy, especially now. Alot of conflict started brewing inside the Hollyberry Kingdom. Nobles of various houses kept causing trouble and denizens complained... As she aged, the role of Queen only burdened her further. Slowly, she started to drift away from her duties for a little while. She needed time to calm down and make things perfect once more.

Berry juice— the kingdom's signature drink, is what she used to cope with. It was her most favourite beverage.

Her golden goblet never had the chance to dry. Most orders of the queen consisted of ceaseless refills... It wasn't meant to be like this, but she was too careless to quit. Its bitter yet sweet taste gave her the warmth she sought for. Naturally, the bond with her son evanesced. Royalberry Cookie noticed it all too. He tried his best... There wasn't much a young Cookie like him could do for his mother.

Despite the palace's unsettling silence, Royalberry Cookie's kind spirit seemed to give it this warmth that could be sensed by anyone. The young prince stared at Hollyberry Cookie from the slightly cracked open door, brows furrowing. His small hand was placed onto the handle, wondering if he should enter... He didn't want anything from her right now. All he wanted was to check on her.

"Queen Mother..."

He called out as he fully cracked the ornate door, entering the lavish boudoir. Royalberry Cookie carefully approached the queen standing infront the sole window in her room. As he stood by her side, he tried to think his next choices of words through. He didn't have a real conversation with her in a while... Hesitantly, he leaned his head on his mother's side. Hopefully, Hollyberry Cookie would reciprocate the lttle gesture.
