Chapter 104: Invitation to the palace
"You can come in," Abrielle allowed the servant to come in. It was a small servant boy not over the age of 16 years old.
He walked towards Abrielle, bowed slightly as he gave her the letter, and then waited by the side waiting for Abrielle’s answer. Abrielle felt dread looking at the letter with the queen stamp on it. She knew it was something she hated.
Abrielle opened the letter, her eyes glancing through the letter, her expression changing from confusion to surprise and then wary.
"The queen is inviting me for tea tomorrow to introduce me to the other ladies in the palace." She muttered, Zoltana’s face brightened. "That’s great," she chimed. Abrielle saw this coming, things were still proceeding according to the plot.
"Please can I get a quill and paper," Abrielle requested. She needed to send a reply to the queen. Honestly, she didn’t want to go, the reason being Callista would be there amongst several other people who hated her for being married to Cedric not to forget his stepsisters
Despite not wanting to attend, she had to agree for two reasons while dreading her fate; one, it would be rude to say no to the same queen who sent assassins at her. The queen controlled the palace, the same way the king controlled the kingdom.
She could make Abrielle’s life twice as hellish as it was. Secondly, from what happened last night, she realized major events in the book would always find a way to happen. So it was better she respectfully sent a letter than for her to get on the Queen’s worst side and eventually go.
The servant presented the paper and quill to her, Abrielle picked up the quill pen from the ink and started writing on the paper. She was stunned at how lovely her handwriting was in cursive.
Your Majesty, Queen Eleanore,
