Chapter 170: Won't Spare You

Maple was stunned at her mother's cleverness. Her shenanigans surpassed even hers. How could she forget that Aed Ruad had attacked Silver Vales and Draoidh. Since he was a crown prince, it was natural that he was acting under the orders of Anastasia or maybe the king himself. 

Etaya continued, "There is a huge misunderstanding amongst the subjects of those kingdoms regarding us. And we have to take advantage of it. They hate Anastasia. Her marriage to Ileus will be frowned upon. That is why even if they are married, they are hiding it from the public eye."

"Why don't we start a rumor that Ileus married Anastasia? That is going to increase the hate about her amongst those kingdoms," said Maple. And that would give some respite to her burning heart. 

Etaya raised her eyebrow with surprise. "You don't look as stupid as you often talk Maple." 

Offended Maple scowled. "Why do you keep putting me down Mother? It is getting tiring."
