Chapter 30: Rumours
Maids always know everything going on around them. Abrielle didn’t know their main purpose for running their mouths, whether it was for them to gain her favour or they just wanted to run their mouths.
She never expected maids working for the heartless first prince to be this jovial and guessed they were probably maids assigned solely to the winter castle.
The maid weaving Abrielle’s hair continued her petty gossip. "Astrid was said to be very affectionate to the first prince that she was even when threatened by the queen to stay away but she refused. Back then, Prince Cedric was said to be very handsome. Even the second prince could not compare. No one knows exactly what happened except the royal family, but Cedric’s disfigured face is because of Astrid. After that, he started wearing a gold mask."
The maid was truly talkative, and Abrielle’s brows furrowed. Cedric’s scarred face was due to an illicit affair within the royal family. This contradicted her assumptions that he had it due to war.
"I thought he was scarred because he was sent to war at a very young age." Abrielle voiced her confusion. This was the problem with gossip. They were never verified accurately, but the affair with Princess Astrid was something interesting.
"I don’t know about that; as I said, they are rumours, your highness." The maid explained. Abrielle lips were pulled into a straight smile as if saying. I knew so. She had high hopes for not.
"What is the relationship between what you told me and Cedric’s least-like colour," Abrielle asked because she was interested in what that devil hated.
The person who replied this time around was the maid who was holding out the dresses. "Princess Astrid loved to wear purple that Cedric declared he hated the colour and never wanted to see it close to him ever again. He always shows his obvious dislike to the colour."
Abrielle’s eyes sparkled; now that was interesting. So he hates purple. A mischievous smirk made its way on her lips then she chimed. "Do I happen to have any purple dresses?" Abrielle asked.
