Carmela accompanied by her servants went back to the palace. She met her elder sister, Thearah, on the way.
Thearah's original fiancé, Tevron, had died in a battle against another kingdom. Waynevir, Tevron's twin brother, who was betrothed to Carmela, became Thearah's next target.
Enemies on a narrow road.
Carmela's engagement had been canceled, and she was now known as the kingdom's abandoned woman.
The cancellation of their engagement was the perfect opportunity for her to leave Ziomera and the Morningstar royal family behind, something she had been waiting for all her life.
She left and returned.
Why is she here? I smell trouble. I need to avoid her.
Thearah, however, was not about to let Carmela walk away so easily.
"Have you been well lately, sister?" Thearah asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes, but her voice was laced with coldness.
It was no secret that she despised Carmela.
