Chapter 138: Scream for the right reasons.
As she waited for him to reply, her fingers grazed the back of his hand playfully, as if they had a desire to touch but also didn’t dare to do so.
"We..." Roland started and stopped when Malia interrupted them.
Perhaps, offended by the lack of attention she had decided to go closer and sing into their ears. Roland raised his eyes, unhappy with the interruption.
Sigrid picked up her fan and spread it out, the thought that if Malia had no vocal chords, she could not sing crossed her mind.
"I..."
The sound of a slap and Malia’s outcry which came next was a shock to everyone in the courtyard. Malia fell to the ground, trying to scratch her back which had been slapped and Mauve stood over her like a towering villain with a smirk on her face.
"You slapped me!" Malia exclaimed.
Mauve nodded shamelessly and put her hands her waist. "I did, and I will do it again if you try this foolishness around the Crown princess. You have seen the happy couple whispering and being romantic and somehow you think that they should make room for you."
Selene and Lyra had run over to Malia and the two glared at Mauve.
Mauve raised her fist as if she was going to beat the two of them as well. "What are you glaring at? Look down if you don’t want me to use your eyeballs as ingredients in my pastries." She hissed fiercely like a snake about to attack. "I have seen vixens like you, you are not even as good as lady Blanche at seduction but you run out in the day and wound your waist for all these men to ogle. What three beauties, they should rename you three vixens."
She raised her leg and kicked Lyra on the buttocks. When she raised it to do the same to Selene, Mrs. Elsworth intervened by pulling her away from the three sisters.
