Kapitel 316: You Can Shine Again

"Everything is not over yet. You still have a very promising future ahead of you. King Neville and Samuel will surely support you. Don't you think it's high time to grow out of your mother's shadow and be in the limelight in the path of your choosing? Didn't you say you wanted to be the best scholar in Obrusca, and even perhaps Eliora someday?"

Arabella gave a bit of a push. It was up to Lucille how she would interpret this.

"Why? Why are you saying this? Shouldn't you be angry at me?" Lucille asked in confusion. She wondered if Arabella was stupid or simply naive.

"I was. I was furious and felt betrayed after learning you were the one who tried to set me up. I'm annoyed that you even worked with Carmella. I'm angry that you are using other people to commit crimes and terrible things. And I don't like it that you are copying your mother," Arabella said and Lucille was wide-eyed.
