Chapter 44

"What will happen now?" 

Taya hurried out of the room after changing into other clothes brought to her by the servants. So far, the Supreme Ruler hadn't moved, as if he didn't mind the drama unfolding inside the palace. 

"What was Mathion trying to stop me from doing?" 

Taya whispered as she took a turn. She was planning to head to the royal court. She stopped suddenly when she saw Miral pushing one of Orig's knights out of her room. That man looked familiar. 

"Get out of here," 

Miral screamed, slapping him when he tried to grab her by the waist. Taya's eyes widened in shock. 

"Miral, Miral, Miral," 

the man said in a calm voice, frowning in disgust. 

"You don't understand, you've ruined all my plans. I don't love you, don't you get it? I want to spend my whole life with Orig, but what did you do? You took my first night. You're a fool. Just wait until Orig finds out what you did to me. You were supposed to protect me!"
