Bab 232: First Impressions

 Shasta had walked the Bibalows to the palace gates to make sure Angelica didn't try anything, even though she didn't look like she could. Her father had his arm around her waist as he walked, propping her up as they went. If it were up to her, she would've just died where she stood..

 As they reached the gates Shasta stated; "I'll give you until Monday to be gone. If I see her anywhere near the palace, I'll kill her without a second thought. Do I make myself clear?"

 Lord Bibalow nodded silently as their carriage pulled up to meet them. The reinman had to circle around since people were usually picked up at the palace steps. As it rolled up, raindrops start to fall, which immediately put Shasta on edge. She hated water.

 Opening the door, Angelica stepped in without a fuss, then whipped around to glare at Shasta and say; "She'll never love him as much as I do!"
