When the call ended, Ava walked around the room, wondering what her fate would be now.
She could not just sit still and watched her role snatched rights out of her hands after years of preparing, all her friends would laugh at her. She had to act now and fast while things weren't out, Ava thought to herself.
With the banquet happening tonight, she didn't want to be the laughingstock so she had to seize this opportunity. She was sure Eiravyn would not go extreme on her; if he wanted to punish her, yes he would be angry, but what else could he do?
She was there by his side when he was first crowned king and was faced with criticism from the high-ranking ministers and lord. She was the one who stood by his side. Where was that other girl when she had to sneak in food for him? Where was she? She had rejected all her suitors coming to ask for her hand in marriage because she had waited for Eiravyn to give up the idea of waiting for his mate.
