Chapter 117: It might not be possible
The room went silent after the Queen spoke, it was a tempting but dangerous offer. The fire continued to crackle from the fireplace, spreading its warmth around the room. Abrielle gently placed her cup on the table, and a soft smile etched on her face.
"I do understand where you are coming from, but I’d rather keep the affairs with my devil private. After all, issues with one husband should not escape the bedroom." She answered Eleanore, rejecting her offer in the most polite way possible.
Eleanor has been attempting to get rid of Cedric since his birth and has never succeeded, she agreeing to work with her was the same as agreeing to be her pawn, and Abrielle was not in the least interested in being a pawn for the woman who wanted her dead.
Despite the system claiming her fondness for Abrielle has increased it wasn’t a risk the princess was ready to try.
"I understand; it must be hard being with him, especially now he spends the majority of his time with that little vixen." Eleanor chimed trying to instigate Abrielle. She knew all about that. After all, she was the one who wrote it like that.
The key element of the plot was basically the female lead trying to integrate into the royal family that didn’t like her. Callista went through a lot of scenarios that were machine into making her a very intellectual person, and during this time, the undying love of her love interest was what she could rely on.
"They are working together to find answers for what happened at the winter hunt. It was truly an unfortunate incident, and I hope the answers they seek will be found soon." Abrielle’s answers were calculative, not to give out any hint about her true intentions.
Eleanor sat back from her seat; Abrielle knew the look on her face. She was thinking of something. The tea went on for a few minutes when Eleanor spoke on other matters relating to the harem.
Abrielle walked the queen to her carriage; the winter had gotten pretty cold lately as the month of Crystalys approached, which was the same as December on Earth’s calendar.
