Hey, we will miss that we can't have a continuous party due to her downfall. Guess it can be had in hell. 🤷♀️
Grace blushed, "I believe so," and looked at Oriana, her expression innocent. "You do not mind, Your Highness, do you? After all, royals are meant to have multiple wives. You would not want Prince Arlan to deceive his heart and not have someone he truly desires. I do not mind if he is married; I understand his responsibilities, so I do not blame him. I know he values you, but he also loves me..."

Agreed ladies but right now it's politics, the very thing that Julien was explaining to her. To all the other noble households, Oriana should not be Crown Princess, let alone a concubine compared to their precious little darlings so of course even as we read at the engagement party, those heffers were still pushing their daughters towards Ailwin and Julien to present to Arlan as a second, third, fifty-fifth wife. So by Oriana declaring Arlan is only hers and no one else will be joining to make it the sister wives tribe, it's not going to sit well with the noble factions who support Ailwin, possible because they believe their daughters had a shot at being his wife, and may pull support from Ailwin and give it to this mongrel (I don't remember his title) because he is trying to keep with tradition of multiple wives (though that is stupid because if mongrel did upsurp the throne, the prize was Arlan and he would need to be x-factored in order for mongrel and his rats to assume power so who wants to marry their daughters off to his son...seems he has not been getting any takers since he is resolved to marry his son off to Erin). Hopefully Arlan and the Scooby-Doo gang can come up with something but this is not something a black witch, a demoness, or a golden dragon can resolve. This is something that they need to resolve as humans and a family so there will be some fires to put out by hand. But I think we all agree those two harpies that decided to join Grace need to be expelled from Oriana's entourage. They knew they should be with Oriana and speak up for Oriana and instead showed their loyalty to Grace so they can be dismissed. I am sure there are more savage noblewomen who would respect Oriana and think like her that can gossip and fill that spot.

Sad thing is, there is a joke where there is a hand grenade with a number and it tells you to take a number and someone will get to you. Oriana is that hand grenade and Grace is the pin she has to pull out. Arlan had better have all the stops prepared and should take a lesson out of Drayce's books to sometimes eavesdrop on those conversations especially when Grace is involved. But you know what, Elmo put it best...

Best part, when Es steps into the building, she does it on the fly. Just like instaneous has a punishment that literally is hellish and just executes.
"All the means?" Grace sneered. "I will make sure to find means that will make her regret what she did to me today."

Child, let me tell you what would happen. Before Arlan would allow such filth to even sully his palace, let alone his bed, he would ABDICATE that throne (and was about to do so on his wedding day) before permitting anyone to tell him who should rule by his side. It's time antiquated dinosaurs like yourself go into self-retirement because this new breed of royalty (except maybe Thevailes) aren't playing those rules anymore. They don't care about tradition so much that they will hurt the one they love and take another. Hell, the only reason Theron did it was because he was strong-armed into it; had he not been, he would have gladly passed the crown and kingdom onto a cousin or other siblings and moved on with his life. They ain't for those games and were made for these streets.
"That day, I understood her well. She won't ever accept you as her friend, so being her enemy and fighting head on is the only way to deal a stubborn and wilful person like her," Luis replied calmly. "As you can't be her friend, to get her under our toes, it was needed to make her commit a mistake. By trying to harm and disrespect an esteemed noble guest, she has done exactly what we wanted. We have eyewitnesses as well. We can prove she is not fit to be the Queen of this kingdom. Once sidelined, and with you taking her place, it will be easy to keep her under your control and retrieve that artifact from her by any means necessary."

"Make sure to show that beautiful design around your neck to your father so he will know what kind of vexen he has raised and how she got punished. If it is not enough, come back to me, and I will teach you better than your mother would have."

Pretty much. I'm not stepping in and I will be one of those bridesmaids that tackle the other trash that intervene.
Oriana, as if she could not hear him, simply glared at the choking woman in front of her, her eyes filled with a killing intent. "How dare you speak nonsense about my husband in front of me? He is my husband, I am his only love, and he is mine," she gritted her teeth, "....and you do not claim what is mine."

Yeah, God checked out to play Bingo. He wants to smoke from Ori.

Less we forget that a certain Prince can probably hear this conversation and I can see him sauntering in shutting down each and everything Grace says while lewdly hinting at how he has a real woman by his side....or Snowflake just come and scare the bejezus out of them all.
"I was twelve, and His Highness had just left the academy and entered the military," Grace began. "As he was a Prince, his stay was arranged at our family residence whenever he was not at the border. He used to stay for days as he said he loved it there with me..." She cleared her throat. "...and with my brothers. We were good friends. During his stay, His Highness would take me out shopping and buy me anything I wanted while spending the entire day along the streets of the market. I still have the dresses and those gifts he bought for me. They are like my precious treasures, a sign of those beautiful days being spend together."

Wow...and in other news, a wench veered out her lane on I-65 and crashed and burned in dismal style. More at 8 Karen.
"Everyone liking it is important," Anelisa added. "At that time, Prince Arlan liked it and praised it, so you should only consider his opinion."

Girl don't even realize Ori came.up with at least 45 ways to make her disappear that seem like natural causes 🤣🤣
Grace smiled and looked at Oriana, who was waiting to see what this young woman was up to. "It's alright, Your Highness, if you find it just fine. I understand, being raised as a poor commoner, you might not be used to drinking such precious kinds of tea. Now you are with me..."

Yup, time to put them in their place once and for all.
In the garden, Grace was already present with a few more young women, particularly Katherin and Anelisa, who should have been by Oriana's side.

Yeah, I forgot about her because she was truly the forgotten one. She had it worst off than Clarissa in that he truly ignored her except when it was his scheduled conjugal visit.
"Our brother got such a beautiful wife," Onyx and Coral, Yavia's daughters, whispered to each other. Taisie and Ayira, Clarissa and Saira's daughters, sitting next to them, agreed as well.

I totally forgot that the second one came from Megaris' noble family because I believe Yavia's family helped during the crisis from the Devil correct? And the marriage was to repay that debt her family provided to Megaris?

Seems so. Don't worry, suggest he go out on a little hunting expedition...accidents happen all the time 😈
Erin's eyes widened. "Seems like I really have put myself in a pickle."

"How about I grow a plant on that witch's head and then burn it with hellfire?" she chuckled.

Ah pumpkin...that could come in handy someday.
"I will help if there is anything I can," she said, though her tone was not confident. "Though I know I can do nothing but grow plants and then burn them accidentally."

Ma'am...madam...missus....have we not learned our lesson about taking late night strolls without protection? Not saying Zaria is waiting in the wings but not saying Zaria doesn't have her ears to the ground or someone else with an axe to grind against Drayce and sees this as a perfect opportunity to strike.
Hours passed with no sign of Drayce's return. Unwilling to stay in her room any longer, she got up. "Do not follow me," she instructed the servants and walked alone down the corridor.

I think her father picked up that she wasn't getting that job so the next best thing would be open war to try and show the noble factions she is a better fit to be their Crown Princess and Queen as opposed to Oriana who even though born from fallen royalty and nobility, lived as a commoner. Arlan would literally sacrifice his junk and anatomy if he knew he had to lose Ori and was forced to be with Grace. No children would be had in that. Dude would become an enunch before tapping that.
Grace blushed, "I believe so," and looked at Oriana, her expression innocent. "You do not mind, Your Highness, do you? After all, royals are meant to have multiple wives.
