Chapter 175
"You heartless witch!"
"Now, that’s very low of you. Must you insult me so when we are about to have dinner?" Kiara asked, staring at the reflection of her brother in the mirror. "Can’t you see you’re disturbing me getting ready? Tonight is important."
Henry stormed to Kiara’s side but he couldn’t touch her. He couldn’t when she still had her hold on their father. "You call mother getting sent out of the palace an important night?"
"Is it not important that we say goodbye? I don’t see why you’re here yelling when you should tell her to have a safe journey. Why are you wasting your breath with me? I’ve prepared a nice parting gift and since I am in such a good mood, I can put your name on it," Kiara offered.
"You are sick in the head. I don’t care what anyone says. I know you had something to do with him sending her out of the palace. His speech about me needing to be able to stand by myself gave it away. This is your doing," Henry accused Kiara.
Henry knew his sister was heartless when it came to him but he never thought she would turn on their mother. This was their mother, not a maid in the palace. Their mother wasn’t to be involved in Kiara’s games.
Kiara put her brush down and turned around to face Henry. "You are blaming the wrong person. It was all Mateo’s fault. Did you know our dear brother has big dreams? He would love to get his hands on the throne. How would he get to the throne when you are alive?"
"Mateo knows not to have those dreams-"
"He is your spare. Henry, you must think faster. Must I explain it all to you? If you paid attention to history it would not be the first time someone has plotted to kill the crown prince. Mateo’s position as your spare makes it easy for him to be the first choice. You do not believe me?" Kiara could tell from Henry’s reaction.
