Why Can't Maxim Love Elise?

Myrcella looked at Emmelyn carefully, and suddenly, realization dawned on her.

She could see Emmelyn was indeed surrounded by a deathly aura. She didn't notice it before because it was so weak, but now that Emmelyn stood upright, Myrcella could see something was very wrong with her.

Who cursed this woman? She was wondering.

Myrcella knew she definitely didn't do it... and she didn't think her son, Alexander did. 

Was it Elise?

No way... that girl was the kindest and sweetest person she had ever known. Elise would rather suffer than inflicted pain on other people.

Myrcella thought Elise would never hurt anyone, even the woman her fiance fancied. She was an angel.

Seeing the confusion on Myrcella's face, Maxim decided to tell the queen what he had heard from his mother. He knew this was not the time for pleasantries since Emmelyn had explained the purpose of her visit.
