For a second I was too stunned Inspeak

Not because I hadn’t been insulted before Thad, More times than I could come there was ma about standing there in my running clothes, hair bed bark, no makeup, aile Vent’s mother in

And Ezra was right there.

Of all people, he had to see this

Heat climbed up my neck. I clenched my fists and snapped, “What makes you think sped to me ther

Leon’s mother sneered, her perfectly arched brows lifting in amusement

“Can’t I? Listen to me young lady. If you want to climb the social ladder by marrying my son, you’ll need to warn to enter little correction. A small-town girl like you requires a great deal of work before she can be presented prope

Every word landed like a slap.

Yet Leon just stood there beside her and did nothing

His father stayed silent too, hands folded behind his back, watching me with the same cool detachment people used when judging livestock.

Then Leon’s mother went on as though she had already bought me.

“You’ll need posture training, speech correction, proper dining lessons, social etiquette, and a full wardrobe replacement. We also have to work on your habits as well. The way you stand alone i-god, why stand with your feet too far apart? You pok street girl.” Her eyes dropped pointedly to my clothes. “Honestly, it may take months just to make you passable”

Is she goddamn kidding me?

I cut her off. “Whatever training you have in mind, that won’t work. I still have school.”

She smiled.

“My dear, once you’re married, you can quit whatever schoolwork you still have. Frankly, that would be for the best Your Ga better suited to becoming a full-time wife than trying to build some professional future you’re unlikely to achieve away

My face went cold.

What. The. Hell.

For one second the whole front courtyard seemed to narrow down to her painted mouth and the poon cathing out of i

I was about to tear into her when Ezra moved.

He came back toward us within two strides. The morning light caught his face as he stopped beside the, and I saw that the sleepiness from a few minutes ago was gone now. He looked cold again Very awake

“Riley was number one in Hunting Season,” he said in a freezing voice, looking down at her “So cut your crap now

Leon’s mother changed instantly.

Her spine straightened. Her expression softened It was disgusting how quickly respect came to her face

“Your Highness,” she said with a little nod. “Of course we respect her little accomplishments. But this is really a private family matter. You needn’t worry yourself over our business.”

Bata let out a cold, mocking laugh.

Then he turned his head Stightly Toward one of the guards standing near the palace doors

“What’s the punishment for causing a scene in the palace courtyard?” he asked.

The guard blinked, clearly caught off guard by the question. “Usually, Your Higeness ten lashes if the offense is severe ”

Ezra nodded once. Then he looked back at Leon’s family.

“No well-bred noble arrives at someone else’s home and starts insulting the hostess before their feet are even properly on the ground,” he said coldly. “So if you don’t want to be flogged on your first morning here, get the fuck out of my fare”

The look on this family’s faces was priceless.

Leon’s mother looked like she’d just been slapped. Her husband stiffened. Leon himself went pale.

Then his father found her voice again.

“This-This is outrageous!” he snapped. “We are guests of the king.

“And what scene have we caused for Christ’s Sake-” Leon’s mom cried.

“You insulted Riley. Right in front of me. You don’t call that an insult?” Ezra crossed his arms.

She flinched slightly. Then she muttered, “Riley’s my daughter-in-law. I have the right…”

“You have no shit. Until she’s married, she’s still a hostess of this palace. Now are you going to get lost or have those :en

lashes?”

The color in her face rose hot and ugly. For one second, I actually thought she might keep going till Ezra have her dragged out by

the guards.
