Chapter 235: Ruling with Opposition

Ravina could feel the prying and judgemental gazes after Malachi made her place the crown on Nazneen's head. He had made a statement with that move, and many didn't like it at all. She wasn't sure how she felt about it yet but didn't ponder on it, knowing it would all sink in, eventually. Some tried to make her feel like an outsider, unaware that it didn't bother her at all. But it bothered them a lot, and she responded to their bitter faces with a polite smile. 

Ravina knew that, however, many joined her side, there would always be those who would oppose, and she wasn't here to appease them all. The price of being a ruler was enemies even among your own people. 

Malachi joined Nazneen and was helping to introduce her to influential people. 

"They look like a couple," a few women beside her spoke loud enough for her to hear.

Oh well, they might have annoyed her and made her jealous if she didn't know as much as she did.
