Chapter 46

LISA POV

"I know that we've recently become friends and have put the past behind us, and I don't expect you to trust me easily."

"So I'll be the one to break the ice first. I'll tell you about my past, and hopefully one day you'll do the same, Karliah."

"I was born and raised in Avondale, and I was my parents' only child. They wanted me to be queen one day, so they made sure to send me to the best girls' school in Avondale."

"On one of our luxurious trips, we met the royal family from Cordelia, and that's where I met Nicolas. We instantly became friends."

"And we were inseparable. Our parents hoped that one day we would get married and form some kind of alliance between the two kingdoms."

"My parents were obsessed with the whole idea. They made me visit Cordelia more often, and as I grew up, I didn't have any objections because I liked Nicolas."
