Chapter 0044
“I should have the girl forcibly removed for ruining Prince Nicholas’s date,” Lena said, voice sharp. “I’m
sure Prince Nicholas himself is furious.”
“Nick–lass is mad at me?” Elva sniffed.
“No,” I said at once.
“He should be, if he isn’t,” Lena snapped. “You are a very nasty little girl, who
That’s enough.”
“-shouldn’t even be here.”
“I said, that’s enough!” I stepped forward, approaching Lena. “You will not talk to my daughter like that.”
“Fine,” Lena said, shifting her rage–filled gaze onto me. “Then why don’t we talk about you instead, Piper. You know you and your daughter don’t belong her but you insist on wasting everyone’s time and efforts by continuing to stay.”
I could easily defend Elva until my dying breath. It was much more difficult to defend myself.
What she said wasn’t wrong, either. I didn’t belong here. I was wasting everyone’s time. But, while I was here, Elva would get the treatments she so desperately needed.
These past several days, she had been the healthiest she had ever been, and that was only thanks to the care and attention of Nicholas’s personal physician.
If we left, Elva would go back to receiving base–level care, and only then if I could afford to pay the bills.
For Elva, I would stay. I would face any amount of humiliation or degradation or indignity. I would waste everyone’s time.
“You would do everyone here a favor by leaving, especially Prince Nicholas,” Lena said. “He deserves better than to have his every moment intruded upon by you and your… baggage.”
Even though Lena was rude and crass, in this, I could understand where she was coming from. Nicholas and the princes had much to lose or gain with this competition, more than anyone.
For Elva and I to purposefully put ourselves in the way of him finding the perfect Luna was unfair.
We’ll be more careful in the future,” I conceded. “We’ll make sure not to bother Prince Nicholas while he is on his dates.
