Eloise said, "I knew you are my soul sister the moment I saw you in the royal palace garden. I am very happy we met and share a goal. I will help you get rid of that woman... and then you can do whatever you want with King Nicholas Hannenbergh."
"Thank you," said Karenina with a smile.
"I take notes of everything. I have a plan for King Nicholas and his mother as well," Eloise added. She gave one goblet to Karenina. "The information you provided is very valuable. To celebrate our cooperation, let's have a toast."
Karenina looked at the goblet and suddenly her gut feeling told her that she might have trusted Eloise too quickly.
"No offense but I don't usually drink alcohol this early," said Karenina, making Eloise grin again.
