Chapter 91: Stuck in the past (2)
Xavier couldn’t help but laugh at another fool thinking he cared for their opinion. He heard of Vivienne throwing tantrums in the palace but this was going too far. "It scares me that you’ve convinced yourself that I must hear your opinions and do something to please you."

"I don’t need any friendship with you now," Xavier said, hoping she would remember this well.
"Since I married Darius, you have not cared for me," Vivienne said, hurt that he would end everything between them so fast.
"I thought the kingdom only needed to be concerned by Darius playing the role of king but there needs to be concern about the queen. I will make a note of that and bring it up the next time we gather. I suggest you go back to your seat now," Xavier said, ready to leave.

"You, you’re surprising me right now and I don’t like it. I would have preferred you just went to sleep instead of being like this. I am never going to forgive you for not helping me then," Vivienne said, secretly wishing for him to care.
