Revenge Served Cold

As the carriage rolled towards the village, Avice was thinking of ways on how to combat her husband. The women traveling with her were chatting amongst themselves as to how good the prince was. They were talking continuously about Lazarus, Emma, the palace and what a beautiful place it was. Avice wanted to shut them off but she knew that if she did that, they would think that she hated Lazarus. 

If they came to know that she actually hated Lazarus and Emma, they would spread the rumor in the whole village that despite what Prince Lazarus did for her children, she was finding faults. 

Vice looked out of the window of the carriage and ignored the women. She thought about plans to save herself from her husband's wrath and also from the rumor that was about to be spread in the village that the rebel leader's wife went to meet the prince.
