Chapter 140: Bold Proclamation of Love
This was too much for a simple priest to handle. He cowered in upon himself when he noticed the Princess toss up her veil as though it was hair in her face, and her eyes narrowed as she stared at her groom.
Good heavens. The priest started to pray, hoping that someone — anyone — could stop this mess. But of course, his prayers went unanswered.
"He’s enchanted," Soleia cried out. A mix of anger and frustration quickly overwhelmed her as rationality slipped from her mind.
This was ridiculous. Elowyn had somehow gotten her hands on an amethyst again, and between that time and now, had caused Orion to slip back into her ridiculous spell. With both of them so busy with the wedding preparations and hosting of guests, Soleia hadn’t met Orion since she had moved out of his chamber. She had failed to notice it all until now.
"He only has one woman in his heart because he has been enchanted by Lady Elowyn," Soleia declared, increasingly getting annoyed the more Orion frowned.
To hell with her finding out. It was time to expose her for good.
"What a bold declaration, Princess Soleia," Prince Ricard’s voice came from the crowd.
Soleia turned in the direction of his voice, glaring hard. If looks could kill, he would be six feet under, and Raxuvia would’ve declared war against Vramid.
"How can you prove that he is spelled?" Ricard continued, spreading his arms out wide. "The Duke has claimed so fervently his love for his mistress, with whom he already exchanged vows. Under the eyes of God, they are already husband and wife."
