A FOLLOWING TWO DAYS
Olivia spent the entire time locked in her room, trying to get over it and recover.
Two days have passed since the full moon that occurred two days ago. She hasn't been outside in the sun or even in her room in the last two days. The only people allowed inside were her maid and her two kids.
Even though she knew it was hopeless, she had been praying to the Moon goddess for two days straight that she may find some way to win the King's forgiveness. She had too much insider knowledge about the King to believe that he was doing her a favor by sparing her a harsh penalty for her crime.
However, Pearl, she reflected.
Pearl must have arranged the whole thing. Since she was the only one in the know, it made logical. How, however, could she treat her that way? And she believed her!
Oh well, she would get even one way or another.
