"What did you just say?" she said as she glared at .
"I said it was mine from the beginning," I said as I leveled my eyes at her without showing any fear of her presence.
"How dare you!" she yelled as she took a step forward to get closer to and I just waited for her, not that I would adjust for her.
"And so what if I dare?" I said as I looked at her and smirked.
"You... little -" she said as she was about to slap when I stopped her hands in the air.
"Not a hand on my face," I said as I threw her hands.
"And who do you think you are to say that to ?" she said as she was glaring at while the other ladies were also doing the sa thing as her.
"You should be the one who needs to apologize to Lady Noraya, Lady Acantha," Lady Joran said as she seed to find her courage to say a word.
"Lady Acantha?" I said as I glared at her, which made her step back and hide behind Lady Nurich.
"That’s so disrespectful of you, Lady Joran," Lady Evangeline said as she glared at Lady Joran.
"We only recognized Lady Noraya as the crown princess," they all said in chorus and they all looked at bravely.
"Too bad, you called Your highness a while ago, and now you’re all changing your minds?" I said as I smirked at them.
What a joke!
"Because we are just looking if we could swallow our pride just to call you that forever, but it seems like his highness the crown prince made a mistake by marrying you," Lady Dorkinya said as she was glaring at as she snorted when she said those words towards .
"Then how does it taste?" I said as I looked at her while still provoking Noraya, who was glaring at like she wanted to strangle my neck and twist it.
"You, you’re really shaless, are you not contented that you stole the Klartis duchy from father and now you also stole my man?" Noraya said, but what was weird was she was even confused at what she said.
"The Klartis was my birthright that you and your father were trying to snitch from ," I said as I looked at her coldly.
I really could feel her presence.
"Abanoon, if you were there, co out," I said as I tried connecting in Noraya’s mind and I saw her surprised when she heard speak.
"What did you do?" she asks as her eyes widen in surprise at what I did.
"What?" I said as I acted innocently as I raised my brows at him.
I tried doing it but still nothing answers .
"I asked you again, what do you think you’re doing?" she said as her hands were ford into a fist.
That’s right, get mad at and let the other shows who you really are and let them know that you have Abanoon inside your body.
I saw her stop again and it seems like she was calculating what to do.
"Why are you doing this, Lady Acantha? I tried befriending you before, didn’t I ?" she said as she sobbed and the other ladies comforted her.
Are they even for real?
I almost laugh when she has her own fake tears rolling her eyes and yet the others still believe her.
"What’s wrong with her?" I looked at Lady Dreanna as she was frowning at Lady Noraya, who was now being comforted by the other ladies.
"Is she still sick in her head?" Lady Evangeline asked as she looked at and I just smiled.
"What is happening here?" we all looked when we heard a voice, a very familiar voice to .
"Greetings to the smaller sun of the empire," The ladies said as they all bowed their heads, well, except for her.
"Your Highness..." Ernie and Jarnus looked at as they greeted and looked at Lady Evangeline and Lady Dreanna, who were bowing their heads to Helion.
Helion made a gesture for the others to lift their heads, and they did.
"Lady Evangeline..." she heard Ernie greet the other lady, and I frowned when Lady Evangeline didn’t acknowledge him.
Is there sothing wrong with the two of them?
I heard from father that the Roys family got closer to the Milliards Family.
"What’s going in here?" Helion asked again as he looked at worriedly.
"Nothing, just a bunch of Ladies -in- waiting who were here," I said and he caressed my face.
"Ladies-in-waiting?" he asked as he too looked confused at what I said.
"Yes, they said they were selected by His Majesty," I said as I looked back at the ladies who were now looking at like they were puppies, but a while ago they were all ready to bite my hand.
"Father wouldn’t dare to select so ladies-in-waiting; mother didn’t even have one to avoid any complications in noble houses," he said as he glared at the ladies who bowed their heads.
She knows what he ant by complications; it ans these ladies here in front of her will be forced by their father, just like what she heard a while ago, to seduce the prince. didn’t they know that it was forbidden for the imperial family to cheat, as their descendant way back then pledged to the gods not to cheat if his lover and his child would be alive, and if he did, he would eventually die?
That was the old dragon god did back then in exchange for his wife and child’s lives, which is Dromonos.
And it was passed down to generations and generations.
"Helion..." they both looked at Noraya, who still had so tears on her face when she called Helion.
"What are you doing here, Lady Noraya?" Helion asked her as he put his hand on her waist.
I just smirked when I saw the surprise in Noraya’s eyes when Helion asked her and when she saw where his arm was.
"What happened to you?" Noraya asked as she sniffed from her handkerchief.
"What?" Helion asked, as he didn’t seem to get what she ant.
I almost laughed at his reaction as he looked confused at what she said.
"What happened to you? To us?" she said dramatically and I put my fingers on my chin as I watched her act like she was in so play.
"What do you an us? There was no us,’" Helion said and I heard Ernie burst out laughing.
"Sorry, your highness, I had never been to the theater anymore to watch so play, and I didn’t know to see one here and worse, you are part of it," Ernie said and Helion and Noraya glared at him
"You—it’s you and you again, Hely. These are the people who stopped from talking to you last ti when I went to mother’s palace," Noraya said as she seed to get lost in her own script when she recognized Ernie and Jarnus.
"Hely?" I said as I raised my brows at her. "I didn’t know you had a pet na for my husband," I continued as I looked at her, and she glared at again.
"Lady Noraya, it seems like I have been tolerating you this ti to disrespect in front of my wife," Helion said as his jaw clenched and he seed pissed at what Noraya called him.
"Wh-why are you taking her side? It’s ... I am supposed to be your wife. I am the one who you really loved," Noraya said as she took a step and went to Helion and caressed him on his shoulder as she smirked at .
I looked at her and smirked back as I stopped her hands.
"What do you think you’re doing?" I said as I removed her hands from Helion’s shoulder, who stiffened at what Noraya did as his jaw was clenching.
I tapped his shoulder where Noraya touches him and made it look like I was removing so dirt from it.
"You, did you use so witchcraft on him?" she asked as her eyes were looking at my hand that was now on Helion’s shoulder.
"If only witchcraft worked on him, then maybe His Highness would be with a different lady right now," Jarnus said as he looked at Noraya, who was now glaring at him.
"Did I ask for your opinion?" Noraya said as she was glaring at Jarnus, who looked at her without any fear in his eyes towards her.
"I was just saying that whatever you were trying to say is false. His highness has been in love with Her highness ." Jarnu said.
I saw how Noraya gritted her teeth, but still it seed like sothing was really stopping her from bursting and letting her power out.
I can sense that she already lost the blessings she received being a descendant of the house of Klartis.
But I don’t think she knows that or she even noticed it.
