Chapter 271: Tea (3)

Heather was reluctant to join Alessandra but seeing as she was the only person offering a seat, she had no choice but to accept. Luckily, the women at the table Alessandra was seated at should be civil since the queen was there. 

As Heather approached the table, she saw right through Alessandra's kindness. It must be amusing for Alessandra to see her in this state. Now Alessandra would make fun of her to join the other ladies. If not for her mother who was greatly upset with her losing Priscilla's favor, Heather would not be attending this gathering. 

Heather's mother had ultimately taken Priscilla's side in the matter, not wanting the long friendship to end and for Priscilla to exclude her. Heather desperately wanted to go back to White town since Pricilla's influence there wouldn't be this cutthroat and she would be able to relax. Unfortunately, her mother was forcing her to be social, and with her father not present, she had no to go against her mother.
