Chapter 103 — A Coward
The next morning, the grand halls of the king’s palace were adorned in luxurious silks and gleaming ornaments, all carefully arranged for the ceremonial welcome of the queen.
Servants stood in the courtyard, waiting for the royal carriage to arrive.
"Finally, there will be a queen in the palace!"
"It has been a decade since the queen’s bedroom was used."
"Hopefully she isn’t like that... evil princess."
"Shh! She might hear you."
Whispering circulated among the servants but Cynthia who stood beside the iron gate, her arms crossed, did not care. She simply eagerly waited for her brother’s arrival.
The golden carriage rolled on the ground, the wheels making sounds one couldn’t ignore and making its presence evident.
Cynthia glanced behind to see if Lucian was present as well. They haven’t exchanged a word since last night. Rather, she kept trying her best to avoid him. She didn’t need to force herself to be a good wife while being in Eldoria, right? Although she knew it would impact her plans, she had a way out of it.
A smile began to form on her face, seeing the carriage make its way inside.
The coachman rushed to open the door. Alistair stepped out, extending a hand to the new queen.
