Chapter 93: Switching interest (1)

Amelia sat down beside Octavia. She pretended not to notice the ladies wanting to hear more about her time with the prince.

"Amelia, is it true what others are saying that Teo will become the next king? I hear that Tyrion has married Penelope, but that doesn't sound right," said Harper.

"It is as you have heard. Teo shall be our king, and he is now searching for a wife. In the end, Penelope got what she wanted," Amelia said, picking up a glass of water poured for her. "Should we send her a gift?"

"You are far too kind, Amelia. I can not find it in my heart to send her a gift, nor can I invite her into my home. Is it not unfair that she was able to wed the prince in secret? My time was wasted," Octavia argued.

"I do find it odd that their wedding wasn't done properly. He is a prince, and Penelope is the daughter of a nobleman. What was the need for the rush?" Amelia asked, purposely throwing out a scandalous idea.
