“Go ahead. Go now. If you don’t, I’ll lose what little respect I have for the Garrett name.
The moment those words landed, Daphne’s face changed.
What she had done could never withstand investigation.
If this truly reached the palace and even a small inquiry began, she might not even become Crown Princess.
Seline’s anger flared. She shot to her feet.
“Mother!” Daphne panicked and grabbed her arm.
Seline frowned, about to ask what she was doing, when she caught Daphne’s expression. Guilt.
With her back turned to Elspeth, Daphne gave Seline the faintest shake of her head.
Seline’s heart skipped.

“Go,” Elspeth’s voice cut through the air again. “Why aren’t you going?”
Seline swallowed hard, forcing herself to steady her voice. “Daphne is about to become Crown Princess. We really shouldn’t turn this into open war between households.”
Elspeth’s face hardened.
“Don’t you dare say that,” Elspeth said, each word clipped. “Say it again, and you’ll regret it.”
Seline’s face stiffened instantly.
“You wanted to inform His Majesty, didn’t you? If you won’t go, I will.”
