Valkyrie noticed the tension radiating from the King. She followed his gaze and saw Arianna speaking with the slave master. Anger rose in her chest.
She had purposely walked with the King to show Arianna who truly belonged by his side, but her efforts were slipping away. Why was the King staring at her?
Determined to divert his attention, she spoke up.
"Shall we—"
"I'll head back to my chamber," Duncan cut her off and walked away.
Valkyrie's gaze snapped back to Arianna. That girl annoyed her for no good reason.
Then a thought crossed her mind, and she smirked. It had been a while since she taught that b***h a lesson—now was the time.

By evening, Arianna was done with all her work. As she started to head to her chamber, a maid approached her.
"The King summoned you."
