Chapter ３０

It had already been a few days ever since I saw Liam at home. Unknown guards still roamed around the palace like it was their own place, fearing nothing. I even heard them gossiping about me and Liam while sitting beneath the porch with Daleri.

"Have you heard how Emily killed one more person?" A guard standing inside whispered, but I could hear him clearly. My ears perked up at his gossip, and I listened tentatively.

There was some noise as if someone had hit the other person's head. "What're you saying she's the crown Princess! Our future queen!"

The first guard snorted. "A queen who's killing everyone. How cruel."

Hearing those words, my shoulders dropped and a depressed expression appeared on my face. I couldn't refute those words because I did end up killing people, and the guilt was eating me alive. It took me a few seconds to get out of my entangled emotions and focus on the gossip again.
