Anika's plan

The news spread around the city very quickly. In no time the whole of Zaredon had known that the prince had taken in a concubine with the queen's permission.

Valeria could not believe what she had done, her heart felt at peace with the choice that she she had made. Her mind was peaceful after she created the perfect chaos in the palace.

The King was furious at what happened and the princess couldn't hide the anger in her eyes. She was displeased with the way Valeria walked over her and took her day from her.

In her room she went to ruin everything that her eyes could see. She just couldn't accept defeat, she was supposed to show the world her place in Esteban's life but instead Valeria got to do that.

She was mad. She left her room after destroying all that was inside. All that she could hear echoing in her ear was the words that Esteban spoke before the world.

"I accept that all Valeria has said is true. I will take her as my official mistress."
