Weren't they standing a little too close?
Of course, it was not the right time to think such things. As soon as she spoke, the Princess moved away and resumed listening in on the conversation that was taking place above their heads.
The Prince of barbarians was receiving a gift from whom? Because he had helped them?
At the mention of that man, a Verinia felt very sour inside. Not only was he someone whose presence she had to tolerate, he was also someone who wanted to marry her.
It was bad enough trying to escape from a marriage with him, but now that she was hearing his name in such a place, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.
Did the barbarians and the rebels have anything to do with each other?
When those people entered the palace and had an audience before the court, they had all but threatened to have Verinia marry over or start a war.
So not only the rebels wanted her dead, even the barbarians were after her head.
