Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Andre Had Ulterior Motives

Just like Fae Queen Maeve, Queen consort Nirvana was breathtakingly beautiful with her green hair cascading down her bottom in waves. If Theodore were to have a walk with his mother in the human realm, they would be perceived as siblings because she was so young and there was not a trace of wrinkles on her face. No, the humans would have fallen on their knees instead and worshiped her because she looked like a beauty.

As expected as the first wife of the king, she was magnificent and carried herself with a delicate behavior. Nirvana didn’t just walk but seemed to glide on the floor and her flamboyant dressing which was meant to draw attention did not fail to perform its role because all eyes were on her.

Both Queens were dressed to the nines and while they didn’t say it out, it was obvious that they had planned to out-dress each other but unlike the Fae Queen, queen consort Nirvana was a spring Fae who had a deep connection to nature and the changing seasons.

Only spring Faeries would be able to weave a dress so delicate it evoked a sense of beauty, fragility, and elegance.

She commanded attention without even trying hard. Unfortunately, no one would dare to tell Queen Maeve that she lost this round, not if they still wanted their head on their shoulder. Or wanted to live the rest of their lives in the palace peacefully. Queen Maeve was known to be petty and had a nasty temper.

Queen Consort Nirvana arrived at the table and bowed her head at the king, "Apologies, your majesty, I had not intended to keep you or the others...." She gave Queen Maeve a significant look," Waiting. However, I was just excited about my son’s return that I had to doll myself up a bit to meet him."

"Obviously," said Queen Maeve, her gaze taking in her rival’s appearance with such great intensity it was a wonder she did not set her alight with a gaze. Valerie, who had been observing his mother unconsciously leaned forward in his seat, ready to extinguish the fire if she did so.

"Excuse me, your majesty," Consort Nirvana turned to Queen Maeve, "You were saying?"

Queen Maeve said sarcastically, "It is quite funny, you talk as if your son was away for a long time that we all missed his grand presence."

Unlike Andre who vanished to the gods knows where, Prince Theodore has been present in the palace a couple of times. Not to mention, not many Faeries noticed he was even gone. His churlish presence seems to linger. If there were anyone who took notice of his absence, it was the servants who were often relieved they wouldn’t have to deal with his overbearing attitude.

Queen Nirvana’s face twitched with suppressed anger at the jibe her co-wife and enemy Queen Fae Maeve threw at her.

However, she was quick to control the emotion, responding with a sweet smile that didn’t touch her eyes, "Oh, don’t worry your majesty, my son was only being considerate of his family so he doesn’t get into trouble that requires him getting rescued by his beloved brother, Aldric."

Queen Maeve’s face flushed with embarrassment, her hands on her lap shaking as they formed into fists. She had tried to hide the attack on Valerie from the public to protect his reputation and honor, yet the news came out anyway. After all, the trees have ears in Astaria.

To make things worse, her husband King Oberon appointed that damned son of his to rescue the crown prince when they could have taken a few hundred soldiers to do the work. It had taken her a lot of effort to come out in public afterward because Nirvana had not failed to rub it in her face with every encounter, just like now.

Queen Maeve told her, "Sorry I have to correct you but Prince Valerie did not get into trouble. He was out there performing his duty when he was attacked by wraiths. But I guess that Is a responsibility your son would never understand." She threw a low jibe on how her son couldn’t be the crown prince.

"Y-you -!" Queen consort Nirvana choked, glaring at her rival with so much hate. She might have been winning this fight but Maeve hit her in the spot where it hurt the most.

"Enough!" King Oberon shouted, his voice reverberating across the hall with so much power that the pixies shrieked and took cover behind each of the prince’s backs.

He threatened them, "One more fight and I will leave."

Both Queens glared at each other, their gazes accusing one another as the cause of their husband’s outbursts while Queen Consort Victoria sighed from her position. She took a glass of wine and gulped it down, knowing that she was going to require something strong to survive the rest of this meal. She hated gatherings like this.

"I’m sorry for being inconsiderate of your presence, your majesty, and letting myself get carried away by our friendly jokes." Queen consort Nirvana was good with words, waving aside the exchange as mere banter.

Fae Queen Maeve did not contradict her words either knowing there was no time for everything and the king was not going to accept their insolence anymore. Moreover, she couldn’t push herself to the same low level as the spring Fae Queen. Nirvana was not worth her energy.
