"Tabitha," Faye whined in disbelief that Tabitha would not aid her. "They want to label me as a mistress."
"How could you be a mistress if you didn't sleep with him? I had high hopes for you, but you disappointed me. I'm certain you have disappointed your mother as well. Do you not think it is time that you leave?" Tabitha asked, bored with Faye.
Faye looked down at her lap for a moment. "You were backing me. You said that the prince was dissatisfied with his marriage and the decision he made to step away from the throne. Was that all a lie?"
"It wasn't, but none of that matters now. You lost your chance to be with him. You won't have a second chance. I helped you get into gatherings to be near my grandson-"
"The prince wasn't there today. Only Penelope was. You sent me there to trouble her. All I am asking for now is for your help to have the ladies not say that I would be a mistress to other men. I only wanted the prince," Faye argued.
