Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 206

Awakening Love: Reborn to Be His Duchess

Chapter 206 Cruel Plans

After all, Daphne was about to become Crown Princess.

Eleanor forced a smile. “It’s even better than

your last one.”

“Exactly.”

Daphne’s lips curled smugly. “The previous one was a mess. All that shallow romance. The writing was terrible too.”

She could not understand why so many people liked it. Clearly there were too many fools in the world with no taste.

But that was also because there had not been truly good storybooks.

Once her new one was published, the genre would change entirely. It might even go down in history.

Eleanor laughed nervously and quickly changed the topic. “By the way, I heard a lot of people in Vanelle have died recently because of the Duchess of Duskmoor. Do you think… I might get dragged into this?”

She had barely slept the past two nights over it.

She had offended the duchess before. What if the duchess decided to settle accounts?

The Duke of Duskmoor clearly doted on his wife. He did not care whose face he embarrassed

anymore.

Eleanor was afraid her family might be ruined.

“What does that have to do with you? Relax.” Daphne examined her nails, unconcerned.

“Are you sure I’ll be fine?” Eleanor’s voice wavered.

“I said you’ll be fine.” Daphne shot her a look. “You don’t trust the future Crown Princess?”

She gave a small snort. “All this over a horse. Was it necessary? Fine, those guards died. But the Crown Prince suffered so much for it too. Elowen is getting more and more arrogant. She’ll fall sooner or later.”

Eleanor hesitated. “But…”

She had been there that day. She had seen everything.

Chapter 206 Cruel Plans

It was not just about a horse. The Crown Prince had ordered the duchess to get down and beg. The Duke of Duskmoor’s fury had not come from nowhere.

Daphne narrowed her eyes. “But what?”

Eleanor shook her head quickly. “Nothing. I mean, yes. Of course.”

Daphne shifted into a more comfortable position. “If you listen to me from now on, you’ll live well. Promotions for your father aren’t impossible.”

Eleanor looked at her eagerly. “Tell me what

you need.”

Daphne smiled. “Simple. When I marry the Crown Prince, the Duchess of Duskmoor will attend. When she does, bring up your family’s horse in front of her.”

Eleanor blinked. “Why?”

“Are you stupid?” Daphne rolled her eyes. “Her horse just died. With how fragile she is right now, she’s probably crying into her pillows every night. She won’t even have an appetite. But she has to attend the wedding. If you mention horses in front of her, she’ll think of hers. In front of all those guests, she’ll probably burst into tears.”

Eleanor stared.

“I even thought about convincing Her Majesty to add a horse meat dish to the banquet,” Daphne sighed. “Too bad she refused.”

Eleanor shivered. Hell must be empty. The monsters are all out here.

“If there had been horse meat, it would’ve been perfect.” Daphne smiled cruelly. “Elowen takes a bite, and I tell her, oh, don’t worry, Duchess, it’s not your horse.”

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside.

Before Daphne could react, the study door was kicked open with a loud crash. She turned, the mocking smile still on her face.

When she saw who it was, she blinked. “Why are you here, Marchioness-”

She never finished.

Elspeth strode forward, her face cold as steel, and slapped her twice, sharp and loud.

Daphne screamed. Her hair fell loose. Clear red handprints bloomed across her checks. She had not expected it. Her face burned. Her ears rang.

“You vile girl.”

Elspeth did not care about decorum. Her voice shook with fury.

She had heard everything at the door.

There really are people like this in the world. Even killing her would not be eno

away.

Eleanor shrank back, pale, afraid she would be next.

Elspeth did not spare her a glance. She stared at Daphne, teeth clenched, a

more.
