Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Broken Alliance

"Good morning..." Islinda hardly greeted after she stepped into the kitchen before three pairs of eyes shot in her direction causing her to stop short.

It was not uncommon for the Fae to stare, however, the ravenous curiosity in their eyes made Islinda shudder. Their scrutinizing eyes roved over their body as if peeling the clothing on her body and seeing beyond what was considered proper.

Islinda did not even realize when she crossed her arms against her chest, feeling self-conscious. She was still in that scanty nightgown and did not need to guess what the Faerie was looking for. Evidence of Aldric bedding her so they could confirm their gossip about the both of them.

It seems whether in the human realm or not, certain people do not mind their business. Islinda was just about to drop a cheeky comment when she felt movement behind her and turned slightly to see Rosalind come up beside her. Just the Fae she was looking for.

Rosalind ignored her and entered the kitchen with her arms on her waist, watching the three Fae servants who had momentarily halted their activities.

"None of you told me something was interesting to watch?" She queried them, standing akimbo.

"What?" One of them blurted out while the other two guilty dropped their gaze to the floor.

"If you had time to stare at people, you should have finished your assigned duties by now." Rosalind scolded them.

But one of them was bold enough to retort, "We didn’t even stare at her that much."

Rosalind scoffed, finding the Fae courageous to talk back to her. However, the smile on her face suddenly thinned and she turned deadly serious, "Get out."

Even Islinda’s head whipped up at that mighty command, looking at Rosalind in surprise. She knew Aurelia was the head of staff in the castle and did not really know Rosalind’s position on the hierarchy. Or was Rosalind taking advantage of the fact she was Aldric’s lover? She was on a power trip because she had Aldric.

"I said get out," She repeated the order when the Faeries looked hesitant to make a move.

Another said, "But Aurelia said -"

"Get out now!" Rosalind snapped at the Faerie who nearly jumped out of their skin but had received the message loud and clear.

All three of the Fae in one file dashed off, leaving Islinda and Rosalind all alone in the spacious kitchen.

"Now we can talk comfortably," Rosalind said, ensuring the door was locked properly and no Fae was lurking in the hallway.

"Wait a minute," It then hit Islinda, "You chased them on purpose so we could talk?"
