Swan was sitting anxiously inside her room.
She stared at the arranged snacks, dessert, and tea for two people, as it was meant to be a tea time between two royal sisters.
She had seen many of these beautiful desserts in the kingdom but never had the chance to eat them, so she should be happy now that she could eat anything she wanted.
But she had no appetite, knowing that Aria was already here, and she was scared of what would happen next.
Would Aria slap her on the face?
Would she kick her leg?
Would she yank her hair and cut it?
Many scenarios flashed in her mind, and Swan’s body began to tremble as she recalled too many traumatic experiences that she tried so hard to forget.
Swan’s heart raced when she heard Aria and Gale’s voices from the other side of the door. Aria sounded so flirty, but Gale didn’t seem to reciprocate, or at least that was what Swan hoped.
She doubted that Gale would be able to resist Aria, especially when he needed to mark another woman sooner or later.
Nevertheless, she still hoped that Gale would be able to resist. She would be happy to see Gale with another woman since she knew she didn’t deserve to have him all for herself.
She just prayed that the woman wouldn’t be Aria.
’Goddess Asmara, please don’t let my man be attracted to my nemesis. Please make Aria look unpleasant in front of him... Or at least make her smell unpleasant! Like a dung sprayed with perfume!’
She prayed so hard, but when she realized how stupid it sounded, she quickly stopped.
The conversation between Aria and Gale stopped, and Swan heard a giggle before the door was pushed open. Aria entered the room with a big, malicious smile on her face.
She darted her eyes at Swan and blinked twice, acting as if she was shocked, and said, "Oh my, Sis. You seem to be doing very well here! You almost look like a proper lady, too bad you’re just a lowly whore’s daughter."
Swan wanted to counter her because she knew she wasn’t in the Holy Achate palace anymore, but she was immediately frozen by fear and trauma.
