The next queen (2)

"Prince Tobias!" Helena called, running to try to catch up to Tobias. 

"My Lady! It is inappropriate for you to chase after the prince and make noise in the palace. Should anyone see you, you'd be scolded."

Helena stopped upon hearing the maid. She inspected the area to see if anyone was around to witness her chasing after Tobias. "I only want to clear up the misunderstanding. I was only trying to pass a message along to my sister."

Helena didn't understand why she was always made to be the bad guy. She wasn't trying to ruin Hazel's relationship. Her way of making the prince regret not picking her had nothing to do with Hazel.

Helena bit her lip to refrain from calling out to Tobias again. She didn't regret mentioning David because Hazel would come across him at some point and there would be a misunderstanding about being around him.

"That's the last time I try to help anyone," Helena muttered.
