Chapter 54: Evil trick (1)
Amelia sat on a chair placed far from where Warren and his father worked. She cared very little about the work they were doing and more about the chance she would get to speak to either man.
"To the left," Amelia snapped at the maid meant to be shading her. "I hope the palace maids will be far better trained than you. The sun is reaching me."
"Forgive me, Miss Amelia," the maid said, shifting the parasol so Amelia would be covered.
Amelia sighed, trying to be patient since a better time was coming. Soon, she wouldn’t have to stomach her father’s servants, and she would be the one to command hundreds of them.
Amelia eyed the key to her getting one step closer to the prince.
Stories about Penelope increased by the hour and as long as they were twisted to sound believable, these stories would not stop soon.
Amelia chuckled, thinking of the gossip she heard that a man of the court had loudly expressed that Penelope wasn’t suited for the prince.
It couldn’t get any better than this.
Seeing Noah walk off, leaving his son behind, Amelia took this as her chance to have a word with Warren.
Amelia stood up, pushing the parasol she no longer needed out of the way. She approached Warren, who pretended he didn’t see her.
Amelia knew it was likely that he was smitten with her, so he behaved as he did now. She was used to it, but a man like Warren should know that he had no chance.
