Chapter 183: Downfall (2)
"Erin isn’t the only one who faces trouble these days. It appears that despite how much Amelia and her mother plot, she fails to get the crown prince’s attention. It is all wonderful," Julie said, enjoying her recent news.
Julie hoped to see Amelia soon to hear the excuse she would come up with as to why she was never seen with the crown prince.
"I knew that she didn’t have a chance with Teo. She had her eyes set on Tyrion for so long. Luckily, there is still a long season ahead of her to find a husband elsewhere," Penelope said, kindly wishing for Amelia to find a husband.
Penelope was relieved that Amelia couldn’t become queen. Life in town would have been miserable if that had happened.
"No matter how hard she tries, Amelia will not end up as a royal if she continues to be your enemy. Maybe she can find her there if she marries a man from the court. She will not rest until she ends up in the palace," Julie said, curious about the lengths Amelia would go to be in the palace.
"Life in the palace is not all that she imagines, but she will not listen to me. She will need to learn the hard way," Penelope replied.
Penelope was certain Amelia would do all that she could to end up in the palace, only to realise it was not somewhere she could be happy.
"Happiness doesn’t matter to someone like Amelia. Status is all that matters. I hear that she has men of many ages going to her door to court her. She would not show her face if she ended up with a man twice her age. I hate her, but I don’t want that for her," Julie said,
Penelope liked hearing what Julie knew, but she had very little interest in hearing about Amelia. Her home was where she could be free of the drama around the town.
