How devastated you were

The next morning, Aria went to see her mother in the Queen's manor.

"Mother, Radulf threatened me last night. He said he would reveal your dirty secrets. I think he was scaring me away. Mother, shouldn't Father get rid of Radulf? He is getting on my nerves," Aria said with a frustrated sigh.

"Why are you even speaking to him or his wife? We have nothing to do with them," Loretta told her.

"Mother, I didn't speak with Radulf. I was talking to Gregor, who lied to me about having a mate. I want to marry him. You know well how much I adore him for a long time," Aria complained. "He is Melissa's close friend, so I wanted to know through her why Gregor acted in such a way."
