Chapter 84: Her biggest puzzle
The bright room was now pin drop silence; it was so quiet like a ghost just passed by. Polygamy was common in Darconia but it was not wise to State your intentions of being a second wife in front of a new wife of barely 2 months.
Everyone’s attention was on Abrielle; they all heard the rumours of her obsession with Cedric, how she protected him in public and knew Seline saying something as outrageous as that before Abrielle was a very bad idea.
To their shock, the princess didn’t react and continued cutting her food into small pieces. Cedric clicked his tongue in annoyance not that he expected much knowing the true colours of his wife.
Penelope quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Don’t mind my daughter; she lacks some noble manners. She is just a child." Penelope quickly said using her eyes to tell Seline to retract her comment.
"I didn’t mean to offend the princess in any way. The prince is very handsome and my mouth slipped." Seline blurted, finally realizing she was out of line earlier. Abrielle glanced at her but her hands were still cutting her meat.
She tried her best to put on a lovely smile, but deep down, she didn’t like the idea of a second wife. Was she crazy? Why was she so averse to the idea? It was what she had been wishing for. Maybe if Cedric had another wife changing the plot, her chances of survival would be increased, but she just didn’t like Seline.
The girl was too pretentious but then Abrielle was the queen of pretense. "It’s fine, I can’t help it when I have a very admirable husband." Abrielle chimed sweetly, almost biting her tongue.
"I am glad the princess has a caring and understanding heart." Seline chimed with the sweetest smile, Cedric’s cold eyes gave Abrielle a fleeting glance, and then he went back to his meal.
"My mother used to praise me for having a heart of gold." Abrielle chirped while taking a sip of wine. Her expression was serene; you would not sense a thing. Only Abrielle knew of the turbulence she felt at that moment.
