CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

"I don't think the Empress hates you," May defended. "She just seems to be on the edge these days, and it started ever since the duke has visited her."

"Yes," May straightened her back and looked around, Rain had spent about three days with her, she knew this stance, it was a gossip stance.

"Do you know the Empress and the Duke are related?" The rain had never been more surprised than she was at the moment, why was she unaware of such information? "The Empress is the duke's younger cousin, but gossip has it that it is a font."

"But the Empress has dark red hair just like mine," Rain recalled as she combed through her hair with her fingers. "But why do you think it is a font."
