“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.
Althea groaned as she slowly regained consciousness, finding herself in an unfamiliar bed. "Always fainting," she muttered to herself, frustration evident in her voice. "I hate it."
Ariana entered the room, concern etched on her face. "How are you feeling?"
Althea, still groggy, replied, "I'm fine. Just okay. Just a bit drowsy." She attempted to sit up, rubbing her temples.
Ariana, ever the inquisitive one, couldn't resist asking, "What happened last night after you gave out the elm stone? I tried waking you up, but you were out like a light."
Althea furrowed her brow, struggling to recall the events. "I remember Carolina being angry with me for giving the elm stone to Darian, and then... I fainted. That's all I can remember."
Ariana raised an eyebrow. "Carolina? Wasn't she the ghostly lady? What's her deal?"
