Chapter 58: Editing

Did you hear that? King Vincenzo is going to take Mistress Lucia as his mate tonight!"

My noisy roommate maid uttered excitedly, eyeing my face closely. I wanted to tell her that I knew all of it as I was there when they were making the decision. But the news didn't settle well inside me. I felt a heartburn, a slow tempting lava which was burning all through my heart.

Why did it bother me too much? King Vincenzo could marry anyone that he wanted!! We had no absolute connection like a couple.

As for Mistress Lucia, she was a great match for him, so beautiful and elegant unlike me who took each steps here for her own benefits. I swallowed the burn in my throat, swiping my head outside to the sky,

" Yes!! He should..I mean, a king is weak without his mate bond. He needs someone to rely on."
