After changing her dress, Daphne had overheard a whispered conversation outside her window-a servant and a maid were muttering that Cassian was on his way here, without Elowen in tow, as if he was sneaking off to meet someone in secret.

Anything related to Elowen always caught Daphne’s full attention.

After quickly adjusting her hair, she had slipped out to investigate.

She never expected to catch such a bombshell of a conversation!

The man inside was undoubtedly Cassian.

But the woman’s voice was clearly not Elowen’s. It sounded like someone else entirely.

So, he really had come to meet another woman. What they were about to do was obvious.

A wide, triumphant smile spread across Daphne’s lips.

How perfectly convenient.

Oh Elowen. Aren’t you all high and mighty? Don’t you rely on Cassian backing you up, trashing me and pushing me around?

Now, your husband is taking another woman to his bed, where will your pride be?

Daphne slipped away silently, heading back toward the main garden.

She wasn’t in a rush to tip people off and drag a crowd to catch them in the act.

For this kind of affair, one had to wait until they were in the throes of passion, then burst in. They’d be locked in a passionate embrace, clothes askew, lost to the world.

Caught red-handed, there would be no possible denial

And Elowen’s reaction… I can’t wait to see it.

The mere thought lifted Daphne’s spirits immensely.

Back in the main garden, Elowen was mulling over the situation with Rowena and Elara, an uneasy feeling tightening her chest.

“Elara is just a girl. I doubt she can cause much trouble. Even if she did sneak out, she couldn’t have gone far,” Kaelan said softly, trying to reassure her.

Elowen remained silent, unconvinced.

Elara’s dramatic scene at Duskmoor Manor, her threats of suicide to force a marriage to Cassian-it all pointed to a dangerously obsessive girl.

She valued Cassian above her own life. She wouldn’t give up so easily.

This wasn’t a simple escape. It was likely a carefully laid plan.

“Greetings, Your Grace.”

Elowen looked up at the familiar voice.

Daphne stood before her, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

Elowen knew that smile all too well. From two lifetimes of knowing Daphne, that particular smile always heralded some scheme aimed at her.

Like in her past life, after Elowen became Crown Princess, Daphne had once visited the Crown Prince’s Wing wearing that exact smile.

They hadn’t yet turned openly hostile then, and Elowen, glad to see a friend, had poured out a lot of her heart.

Only a few days later, Elowen was blindsided by the news that Alaric was taking a concubine.

And that concubine was Daphne.

When the news hit, Elowen froze on the spot like she’d been struck by lightning.

Their next meeting was the day after Daphne had entered the Crown Prince’s Wing and shared Alaric’s bed.

Daphne arrived two hours late to pay her formal respects.

Dressed to kill, cheeks aglow, she bowed to Elowen. “My apologies. I served His Highness quite late last night and simply couldn’t get up this morning. Your Highness, you don’t mind, do you?”

Her words were an apology, but that same smile remained on her face.

The smile she wore now was identical, down to the precise curve of her lips.

Elowen frowned. “Lady Daphne, your hair is still damp. You should have rested longer in the west wing. There was no need to rush here to see me.”

Daphne didn’t take offense. Her smile persisted. Your Grace mentioned earlier that His

Grace would be coming today, though later. I wonder when exactly he arrives.”

Elowen, of course, didn’t know the specifics. “When he arrives, he will surely send for me.”

“Is that so?” Daphne’s smile widened. “How can you be so sure he won’t go to see someone else first?”
