Lady Ivory

The day before the coronation…

"I didn't know you will ask for a private audience, Lady Norwood." Aries looked at the stunning woman across the round table. "I do not have too much time to spare. Let us hear what you got to tell me."

"I would like to express my gratitude for granting my request despite your busy schedule." Lady Ivory beckoned a neck bow, and when she straightened her back, she locked gaze with Aries. Lady Ivory might be arrogant, but she definitely knew when to cross the line or not. "I know once you claimed the throne, I wouldn't have the opportunity to thank you."

"Thank me?" Aries cocked her head to the side. "For what, Lady Norwood? For making sure Princess Agnes will get punished accordingly?"
