"Your offer is too kind, but I need help finding a suitor and I am not interested in marriage like Juliana is. So, you should give her all your attention. I want to be free a little longer," said Natalie.
"Take my advice that you could still be married and free. Plenty are doing it," Vivienne said, thinking of Darius.
"Are you free?" Natalie asked, knowing that was not the case. Why should she take advice from a woman who wasn’t free? "I hope one day you are truly free. You are good at facing many things but as your friends, we worry."
"Again, thank you but you do not need to worry. I am not concerned about my husband taking other women to the palace. If he could do it then I can do it as well," Vivienne shared.
"You would take other men to your chamber?" Juliana whispered, not believing Vivienne.
Vivienne leaned forward in Juliana’s direction to ask, "Why are you whispering when they can all hear you? If I am not afraid to say it then you shouldn’t be afraid of repeating it. You are bothering me today and I do not like it."
Juliana didn’t want to say it out loud because of the king. Vivienne should be smart to know the king would lose his mind if Vivienne had a lover. It felt taboo to speak of Vivienne and Xavier.
Juliana smiled but it didn’t do well to mask her worry. "Will the king be fine with you having another man around?"
