“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
Lila's urgency compelled Althea to follow her out of the room and into the sprawling palace hallways. They finally came to rest on the balcony, where Althea couldn't help but arch an inquisitive eyebrow.
"Lila, what do you mean?" Althea inquired, her eyes reflecting her curiosity.
Lila's gaze held a mix of concern and caution as she leaned in closer. "You know exactly what I mean, don't you? I heard rumors that one of the ladies here is a lesbian."
Althea's surprise was evident, and she let Lila's grip on her arm slip away. She furrowed her brows, her thoughts racing. "One?"
Lila arched an eyebrow, her expression tinged with curiosity. "Is there more than one?"
Althea's internal dilemma weighed heavily on her. She knew that Lila might have overheard her conversation with the others, leading her to assume there was only one such secret.
