Chapter 132: Stolen Her Husband II
"Bold of you to make such a claim," Princess Nessa said with a hiss.
Her bracelet started to glow, and Soleia’s eyes darted over to glance at the larimar, frowning subtly.
If Princess Nessa resorted to violence, Soleia wasn’t sure she would be able to hold her fort. After all, Princess Nessa was trained in battle and magic since she was young. On the other hand, Soleia had never shown signs of magic until weeks ago.
Soleia stamped down the urge to take a step back. If she showed any fear, Princess Nessa would know to use it against her.
"Duke Elsher had always been her husband," Nessa said. "Lady Elowyn had stolen no one from you."
Soleia let out a short laugh.
"Well, quite frankly, I am surprised you have not heard of this already, but who am I to blame you?" Soleia said with a sigh. "Princess Nessa, this upcoming ceremony is my second wedding. My first wedding was held two years ago."
"Isn’t that good for that man?" Princess Nessa snapped. "He managed to escape such an uncouth, uncultured, good-for-nothing princess."
Instantly, Soleia’s face darkened. "You are in my palace right now, Princess Nessa. We are not in Nedour. Speaking ill of the crown is on the grounds for war, especially when you’re here as a friend, not an enemy. Unless, of course, you would like us to send your mother a declaration of war?"
