Chapter 37: They are magical
"Why did Mother invite Alora to my marriage when she knew that she cannot even look? I don’t understand why Mother want to ruin such a beautiful day," Venus said annoyingly.
"Why do you speak like this toward your sister? You know well in what circumstances Alora grew up. As her sister, you should have supported her always," Rhea said while closing the boxes of necklaces after them checking them.
"Mother, tomorrow, no one will be able to enjoy because of Alora. Everyone is scared of her eyes. Also, I found nothing good in her, which could make me support her," Venus pronounced. She stood up from the vanity chair and turned around to gaze at Rhea.
"You sound just like your grandmother, and that disappoints me the most," Rhea muttered, her heart heavy with sorrow. "Alora is a selfless soul. Have you not seen how much your sister longed for the love of her siblings? Elliot never even bothered to acknowledge her existence. It breaks my heart to see my children treat their sister with such disregard."
"Mother, I’ve suffered because of Alora. And now she’s living a life of luxury in the palace. Who would have thought she’d end up as one of the prince’s wife? She’s gotten more than enough in this life, or else she wouldn’t have deserved it," Venus stated with a firm gaze. "You always prioritize Alora over me and Elliot," she lamented, feeling neglected.
"I never intended to do that. I regret my foolishness, knowing it caused Alora so much suffering," Rhea murmured, her voice heavy with remorse as she brushed away the tears welling in her eyes.
Venus rolled her eyes, feeling a pang of jealousy towards Alora. She couldn’t help but think that Alora had somehow lucked out, perhaps because of those captivating eyes of hers. Alora had managed to capture Magnus’s heart, something no other woman had achieved. The day Alora married the royal prince, a vampire no less, only fueled Venus’s envy.
Although she never dreamed to marry a vampire, but seeing Magnus with Alora, Venus felt if she could also get such kind of fortune as her sister.
They heard a knock on the door and Elliot walked in since it was open.
