Chapter 27
Selena’s POV
"I see..." Charles shook my hand. Even though his face was still cold, I felt that he gave me a reassuring look. "You get some rest. I'll take care of this."
However, Vanessa is not going to let me off the hook. "Stop! She can't leave! A shameless traitor like her should go to the dungeon to repent of her crimes, not go back to her room and hide like a coward!"
"Enough, mom!" Charles wrapped his arms around me, "Selena didn't do anything wrong... I told her to take the morning-after pill. If you have any problem with it, you can come to me, not her."
Vanessa is so angry, and she doesn't listen to any explanation. Charles stood between her and me, so she was afraid to come forward. Standing three paces from me, she yelled, "She's on the morning-after pill! Why is she on birth control? Her only value is to bear your child and break the curse. I have always been polite to her out of respect for my upbringing, and she thinks she's the noble Luna!"
