**GWEN**
I clicked my tongue and made up my mind to ignore Merit. As I veered to leave, her next comment stopped me, igniting the fire that I had managed to quench inside of me.
"I see you are still ashamed of your woeful defeat at the arena on Tuesday, huh?"
With speed I reached in front of her, my two hands connecting with her shoulders, sending her back. Unfortunately, she doesn't fall, it was not as if I did something.
Her lips quirked to the side in a mocking smirk. "You are such a weakling and I keep wondering what my dear King saw in you in the first place. You are not fit to be our Queen."
The more those words flowed, the more my heart boiled, pouring over. I wanted to hurt Merit so bad the way she was hurting me. I needed to make her pay, yet I didn't know how to. "Are you happy with yourself now?"
"Huh?"
