Chapter 170 Bad Rumors
Chapter 170: Bad Rumors
One example was the Queen Mother. After all her power had been stripped of her, she had neither the capability nor the will to bring harm to her in this tiline. Therefore, Igor allowed Rihannan to care for that woman.
If it made Rihannan feel comfortable and as long as she was willing, then so be it.
However, for Leticia, she sohow avoided the changes in fate. Though her life was no longer the sa, though she lived anew in a different environnt, she was still that wicked and greedy woman he rembered her to be.
He knew her wicked deeds would never end if he didn’t put a stop to it.
Igor put the golden feather back to the box.
Rihannan treated Leticia with generosity not with death but to be thrown to the side. Leticia paid the price for her wicked deeds in the past and now it was ti to judge her of her wrongdoings in this life.

As the relationship between Arundell’s king and queen grew more distant, slowly but surely, the horrid news began to spread inside the palace. With Chrichton suffering from internal conflict, reducing the chance of a re-invasion, a rumor sparked that Chrichton gave up on taking back their queen. There was also another rumor—the king’s heart and affection for his queen started to grow cold.
When Rihannan heard those rumors, she waved her hand and smiled. She expected this much. Wicked rumors like those spread far and wide. It was sothing that wouldn’t burn out easily.
Things won’t be different now.
Rihannan took in the current situation with calm ease. In the tis past, she felt imnse pain from the many whisperings of the noblewon in court in regards to her, she paid it no mind in this life. She didn’t care. Whatever rumors they made up of her, it was of no concern to her. She only needed to take care of herself.
“This is quite delicious,” smiling, Rihannan said to Mrs. Cessley as she enjoyed a al with her.
Mrs. Cessley looked at her with a sowhat peculiar countenance.
The queen was neither picky with the food and vegetables she ate, but she had a dislike for vegetables with a strong sll. Yet… it was what she was currently eating without a problem.
“You never used to eat these. I rember that you’d scrunch up your nose. Where has your palate taste gone to?”
Rihannan laughed lightly.
“I think that it’s because I’m slowly growing accustod to Arundell that my taste acquired from when I lived in Chrichton is slowly changing back to Arundell’s food. Where it before, I’d have avoided eating these delicacies because of its strong sll and since it’s been a while since I’ve eaten them. Now? I can’t get enough of it.”
“I’ll inform the head chef about your new acquired taste. I’d like for you to enjoy your every al, My Queen.”
“Thank you for caring about the little things, Mrs. Cessley.”
“It’s my pleasure to serve you.”

Mrs. Cessley looked around to survey the area for a mont. Judging that it was deed safe, she parted her lips carefully and said, “My Queen, there is sothing I wish to speak to you about the eting that is to be held soon.”
There was a plan to invite a few high-ranking nobles and hold a simple tea party in a few days. The list of the attending nobles was set, but the invites had yet to be sent.
“It’s just… I think that it would be for the best not to invite Marquess Pless.”
Rihannan imdiately understood why Mrs. Cessley suggested so. It was in Marquess Pless’ nature to be inherently curious about many things. She was one to speak so rudely of topics without thinking ahead.
Even Rihannan was placed in an awkward situation several tis back then because of her. She was the marquess who would imdiately jump the boat to confirm the swirling rumors about the current relationship between her and Igor.
“I understand your concern, but it’s fine. I have a plan to deal with the contingency.”
“It looks like I’ve been unnecessarily worried. I understand.”
Despite that, the worries in Mrs. Cessley’s eyes did not change.
