Chapter 179: You never loved me
It was one dramatic winter prayer. The royal family came to pray for the kingdom, but with the amount of tragedy they faced during the period, they needed prayer themselves.
Eleanor and Callista were gravely injured. Lucian also had a couple of injuries, but it was mainly exhaustion he suffered from.
While praises of how a brave foreign priestess rescued the queen travelled around the temple, another rumour was secretly spreading, one that Abrielle was not shocked to find out about.
In summary, Kaiden’s hands are filled. "The rumours said she spent 2 nights with him in a cave, and when a physician checked her, it was confirmed she was no longer pure." Soft whispers for a group of gossip snuck into the ears of our dear villainess.
It was noon, and the main temple auditorium was technical with only a few around who were offering prayers to the goddess Nyxoria. Abrielle was kneeling before the altar with her head bowed and eyes closed offering her prayers.
She was not praying for herself because she doubted Nyxoria could help her but came here out of obligation just to show a front that she cared about her duties to the kingdom.
Her mind filled with a lot of thoughts from her family on earth and even here. Being her sucked, she was distracted by the interesting gossip from two noble ladies dressed rather expensive. She recognized one as a countess based in the capital. They were gossiping about Ophelia.
Just like the plot Ophelia and Ryker had an entanglement while stuck in the forest. "I can’t believe a princess can be that cheap. I wonder what Her Highness Lady Marinette is teaching her daughter." The countess scoffed.
The funny part was that these ladies were kneeling at the altar while gossiping. "Hush, be careful before it gets to their ears. The royal family has a lot going on: first, the first prince’s wife having a miscarriage on sacred land, Queen Eleanor attempted assassination, then this." The other lady cautions the countess.
