章 178: Chapter 178

'Why did she look so scared?' Kiara wondered, trying to understand her mother's behaviour throughout dinner. 

Kiara couldn't place if it was all about the possibility of them having another half sibling or if it was about her mentioning Lord Ambrose.

"If I ask father, he will only get angry with me for mentioning the lord. What secret does mother have?" Kiara asked, trying to fill in the missing dots.

Knowing one of her mother's secrets would work in her favour. It wasn't a good feeling to be arguing with her mother so she needed something to silence her mother. 

'Did she have an affair?' Kiara first wondered but then she dropped the thought as her mother was too weak to do such a thing.

"Tonight was entertaining. Mother finally spoke back a little though it didn't help her to stay in the palace. One of you," Kiara addressed the maids behind her. "Find out anything said between the king and queen tonight. I will reward you handsomely if you do."
