Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629: Mad At Her

"This is getting pitiful to watch," Ginger said to Ailee, clasping her mouth with her palm while her heart broke at the sight.

Islinda was kneeling at the entrance of Aldric’s court. She has been at it for hours and it was beginning to make them uncomfortable. They would have joined her, but the young human had demanded fiercely that this was her battle to fight and they shouldn’t be part of her punishment. Now all they had to do was watch her suffer herself because the dark Fae prince was not moved by her action at all.

Aldric was really, really mad at Islinda. ƒrēewebnovel.com

It wasn’t until the morning after the party that Islinda realized that she had messed up. She had woken up to see Zaya the healer beside her who simply shook her head sympathetically and went ahead to treat her. Islinda had been fed ambrosia, an enchanted Fae wine and unlike the first time in the past when it made her sick, her body took it quite well this time. Shockingly well. She might as well have drunk normal wine as it had no lingering effect.

However, that was just the prelude to all of Islinda’s problems, as the realization dawned on her that she had engaged in intimate relations with Aldric in the presence of the winter court. While enduring whispers and being labeled Aldric’s "whore" was one thing, confirming it in front of the Fae was an entirely different ordeal. Mortification washed over Islinda, rendering her unable to face anyone for the remainder of the day, despite Zaya’s reassurances that there was no need for shame. According to Zaya, the Fae were remarkably open about such matters, and as she put it, "it is all the winter court could talk about." Indeed, it seemed Islinda had unwittingly found the fastest route to fame, much to her chagrin

It was all her fault, her stubbornness knew no bounds. But this time it seems she was paying for it. Aldric has refused to meet her ever since that day. At first, Islinda had thought he was merely occupied with court and dealing with the aftermath of the party — which was precisely what she wanted to talk to him about — but he refused to see her.

At first, It felt like a joke, but when a whole day went by and there was no response, not even in the form of a letter, Islinda knew at once something was wrong. She has known Aldric to a certain extent now and he would never keep quiet after what went down between them that night, yet there was nothing from him.

Islinda barely slept the whole night and woke even before the day broke, hoping to catch him before he got busy again. But she was refused entrance to his quarters. She tried and tried all she could, but they wouldn’t let her in and even manhandled her.

The rejection hit Islinda harder than she expected. It was the first time she truly felt the weight of her powerlessness as a human in the Fae court. What had she done to deserve this? Islinda replayed her actions in her mind, aside from the indiscretion at the party, she couldn’t find any fault in her behavior. Wasn’t Aldric relieved that he fulfilled their cultural expectations with her, rather than another female? Or was she just deluding herself with false hope?
