RedNovelThe Abandoned Lycan Queen 125 Chapter 125 Elena's POV My eyes shifted to the door just as the Duchess' eyes did. And there, a girl peeked from the door with a huge smile on her face.
Her eyes wandered around first before she stepped fully inside, showcasing her beautiful cocktail dress, styled with glitter on the hem.
"Mom, I hear Princess Elena is here!" She cin and jumped in joy as she confronted her mother.
She's about 5 feet tall, and I'd say around fifteen years old from her appearance and demeanour. Her eyes were glistening with curiosity, and she was all giddy, making little jumps in place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuchess Diana wasn't even given enough tto reply with all her energy as she turned around and looked until her eyes met mine.
She froze for a little while, staring atlike she was starstruck.
"Princess Katherine." I bowed a little and greeted her with respect. Despite our stitle and age difference, she's still a full-fledged princess and deserves respect. Besides, she's also Deacon's cousin, so... Might as well. "You are really here! Wow, you look gorgeous, more like a fairy! Are you really that brave warrior who fought alongside my brother against those rogues?" She uttered in one breath while taking steps closer to me, her smile only getting wider with each word she uttered.
If stars could spark from someone's eyes, there would be a galaxy in this room already.
I nodded a little, clueless on how to react to her overwhelming reaction. "Yes, it is indeed me." She surprisingly gasped and rushed to my side, clasping both her hands into my left and looking up at me. "Oh my goddess! You are really here! You saved my cousin from that battle!" 1 I shook my head and humbly replied, "I only fought by his side. Your cousin is a great warrior who doesn't need saving." "Nonsense!" She shouted. "I heard if it weren't for your warning, they would have been ambushed!" I was already lost for words; luckily, Duchess Diana's anger cin good use this time.
A slamming sound echoed in the entire residence as she slammed her hand on her armrest. "Kat! Why are you here? Who let you in without my invitation?" Throwing her a glare, she snapped at her, "Stop making a fuss! She's just a warrior; it's part of her job to fight." Princess Katherine's face instantly turned sour, and she defiantly faced Duchess Diana. "Aunty, she protected our kingdom. She deserves all the recognition she gets. Besides she still has sinjury, why aren't you asking her to sit?" "Shut it, Kat! Warriors get injured on a daily basis. We can't baby them just because of a small wound." Duc. Diana stared atwhile throwing those cold words.
Princess Kathereing crossed her arms in anger as she looked at her with disbelief. "Of course, she does need to be cared for. How will you feel if my cousin gets hurt? I'm sure her family is worried about her too." While sadness hit my heart, Deacon's mother unsurprisingly found it funny. She scoffed and rolled her eyes as soon as she heard Princess Katherine's words and coldly hissed, "She's more an orphan, who'll care for her when all her family is dead and her husband threw her away?" Chapter 125 The air stiffened with a cold breeze, and the demeanour turned dark as fury flashed in my eyes and fire burned through my veins.
I tried to control my voice, but it still went out a little too steely. "My father and brothers might be gone, but they're lives were sacrificed for this kingdom you stand on Looking at her with my head held high, I continued, Their names deserve honor and not your scorn, Duchess." Duchess Diana's jaws clenched and her body shook from anger as she pointed a finger at me... "You are really one insolent bitch!" Clutching her chest, which was pounding hard, she fell into her seat and massaged her pounding temple, swallowing the rest of her retorts.
With her eyes closed, she waved her hands in a gesture of dismissal. "I'm tired. Escort her out."
One of the maids crushing to aid her, but she pushed them away and hissed. "I'm fine Just get them out of my sight, especially that insolent woman!" "Gladly." I thought silently as I swallowed the smile that was threatening to form on my lips.

Bowing my head a little again, I bid my goodbye. "Goodbye, Duchess Diana." Looking up at her intense IdOkshink Idok smirk a little. "Until we meet again. Hopefully, you'll be there at the wedding." With that, I turned around while I enjoyed hearing the sharpness of her breath after she flinched at my words.
The door closed behind me, and I was walking with grace, but I was halted when I felt someone tugging at my dress, only to find Princess Kathering. "I like you! You don't even flinch at Aunt's dominance, and you're fearless!" So, a genuine smile instantly spread on my lips. "Well, there's really nothing to be afraid of." It's nothing that I couldn't handle.
She raised her hands and made a thumbs-up. "You're my idol! And you'll be my cousin-in-law after you marry my cousin!" She even clapped her hands tically, makingchuckle.
"We'll see what fate decides, Princess Kat."
