Selena listened with interest to Beatrice's words, "Even if what you say about Miss White is true, why did you come to see me?"
Beatrice's face turned dark, "Miss Turner, Lillian used me to get revenge on you. Are you really just going to let it go like this?"
"Now that you are the princess of the central city, it is much easier for you to seek revenge than before."
"Since we have compatible goals, why not work together?"
Selena smiled, "Miss White, you worry too much. Miss Lillian is the governor of the central city and a candidate for the next queen. If I had no connection with her or her plans against me were not involved in my family affairs now that I have accepted my father and mother even for the sake of stability in our empire I would not bear any grudges against Miss Lillian."
Beatrice was infuriated by Selena's high-minded refusal.
She had finally escaped from the capital and returned to Central City but because of her past sins she could no longer live as a carefree young lady as before; instead she lived like a mouse in a sewer.
She thought Selena would help her get rid of Lillian but instead this woman was so spineless that she gave up all her hatred just for being made into a princess.
Beatrice was filled with resentment towards both Lillian and Selena.
With anger filling her heart Beatrice said, "Miss Turner, because of your face alone, Lilian wanted to kill you before. Now, you've become Central City's Princess with that same face. You're like thorn in Lilian's side!"
"You better work with me or else, you'll soon be dead at Lilian's hands!"
Selena looked calmly at Beatrice's agitated appearance without saying anything. "Miss White, I remind you, in royal court, killing an heir apparent is considered treason."
As she watched Selena's elegant composure, Batrice remembered how graceful even Lilian could be despite their shared blood ties. Lilian who despite being sisters, became an exception when given royal surname, becoming part of royalty, enjoying inheritance rights, and possibly becoming next empress...
And yet, she could only be an ordinary noble lady.
Thinking back to the favoritism her father and mother had shown since childhood.
