No Backup

"The official lady?" Chiaki raised her eyebrows.

She was surprised at the spun tale in the kitchen. How quick could it be for somebody to see a beautiful lady marching with her troops to the mansion and immediately twist a tale that she would marry Lance Hua and seize the official lady position from Chiaki?

Or, her insecurity creeping in, was there a secret deal she didn't know?
