A fat teardrop falls into her tea.
“As king, I had to make the choice I made. I couldn’t turn my back on my people. So, after stripping Bella of all her power and authority, I decided to stay away from the castle. Vivian was disgraced and humiliated when I left her standing at the altar by herself on the morning of our mating ceremony. Even though she lives in the castle and wears the crown, she is only acknowledged as queen by the commoners who don’t know the truth. And even they are not happy about it. They don’t like her. You brought change into their lives. You are the queen of their hearts. She is queen in name only, the queen they’re forced to acknowledge. The nobles forced me to give her that title, but she has no power over anyone. She is a political prisoner and nothing more.”
