Chapter 93

Anne was not shaken by Helena’s comment; if she felt anything from it, she did not let it show, and as was her custom, she counterattacked.

“I'm not going to let that happen again; it seems fate had other plans for me.”

Helena stared at the woman and saw the smile on her face. She realized that all the women in the room were there with the purpose of witnessing the first full moon of their children, which Helena discovered began at fifteen—an age when the curse awakened. But what was Anne doing there? Then it occurred to her; at that time, it was clear that she sought a higher position, and everything indicated she was doing the same now. Helena could see in those vain eyes all the disgusting ambition of that girl.

“What are you doing here?” the princess asked, even though she already imagined the answer.

“I'm here at the invitation of the temporary Supreme, of course.”

So this was Lance’s way of getting back at her for kicking him in the groin?
