Chapter 307: Tiara Trouble
Not minding the issue with the Tiara, Talia went on with her preparations for the Ball. During her dress fitting, Talia found her stylist looking deeply at her lower back.
"Didn’t know The Oakley Castle has bedbugs, Your Highness," Chiara’s thick accent made the sarcasm more pronounced.
Talia looked in the full-sized mirror and hung her head low, trying to hide her anger, seeing the hickey in her back.
I specifically told him to not leave any marks! Idiot, Fred! I’m not going to talk to you again!
"Not a bedbug, Chiara, but an annoying mosquito that kept on buzzing around me. I should’ve squished him dead!" Talia said gritting her teeth. It became an open secret among the staff who attended her during the State Dinner that she and Arthur are dating, and Talia didn’t mind them making fun of her for still not being open about it.
"Oh? Just a mosquito? However, on second look, it looks like a bear bite! My-Oh-My! What a naughty bear to attack our lovely Princess like this!" Chiara giggled and Talia face palmed.
UGH! What a drag! Fred, I’m going to kill you!
Talia decided not to talk to Fred until the Ball is over. That guy takes a lot of advantages over her. And she like a bedazzled puppy, lets him do whatever he wants! Oh, Talia! You need to put your foot firm or else, you’d be his little pet for the rest of your life.
That night when Arthur called, she answered him out of habit and only after talking for half-an-hour did she remember her resolution of not talking to him.
"You left a hickey purposefully! I’m not talking to you anymore!" She screamed and ended the call. Arthur who was stunned, tried to call back, but she didn’t answer.
This silly Iris! So I left a hickey... and?
