Bab 216: Chapter 216: Aria’s Gift

"Sad? What for?" Lady Jade chuckled. "My joy is tied with my kingdom. Since the Kingdom of Beastmen is currently flourishing, I don't see a reason to be sad."

"Of course, the Kingdom of Beastmen is flourishing. You have such a powerful king as your ruler," Aria said as she pointed out the obvious. "What I'm saying is, aren't you sad that you're not the Queen of his heart right now?"

Again, Jade's smile disappeared instantly. She hated how everyone seemed to make fun of her situation where she couldn't be with the man she loved.

"I would be sad if I spent all my life trying to support a man, and yet, he chooses another woman to be his wife. How tragic," Aria said, but her tone made it obvious that she was mocking Lady Jade. 

"You should watch your mouth, kid. I will be stationed here, in this palace as the new overseer of Holy Achate. I can make your life a lot harder if I want to," Jade threatened, but Aria didn't seem to be affected at all.
