Chapter 179: Cordelia’s Report
Cordelia scowled at Lady Beatrice. The noble vampire raised her chin and looked down on the old woman. She knew that Cordelia had no power over her, but she just loved to see the woman’s displeased face.
"Sir Knight, may I visit the King Aleksander and Queen Elysianne after they are done dining?" Lady Beatrice asked.
The knight’s smile faded and lowered his head.
"I am very sorry, milady," he said, "but King Aleksander had made it clear that he wanted no visitors. The only ones who could go to the Rose Palace right now are those who serve there."
This time around, Lady Beatrice’s proud face was washed away. She heard Cordelia smirk beside her.
To make things worse, the maidservant made sure to bump into her shoulder as she walked past the noble vampire.
"Ah, my bad," Cordelia faked a sorry face.
The old woman gave the vampire a side glance, and she gloated at Lady Beatrice’s reaction. Her hands had turned into infuriated fists, and her once beautiful face wrinkled with disgust.
Cordelia waved at the knight as she passed him by. She heard the vampire murmur something towards Lady Beatrice, and when she turned around the corner, she saw that he had accompanied the noble lady back to the main palace.
The maidservant made her way towards her shortcut into the garden. The flowers that bloomed were exquisite, telling the grandeur as well as setting the immense difference in wealth from the capital to the outskirts of the kingdom.
Wind blew softly as the stars above twinkled without care. Like most of the aristocratic blood in the capital, the stars above were oblivious to the plight of many others outside the capital walls.
