The King's Rejected Lady

Let The Show Begin!

AS THE TWO NOBLEMEN walked away, the impolite Sabina also walked away without saying a word to Tori. Though Tori didn't miss the deadly glare from Shena, Sabina's maid, Tori just looked forward to their retaliation. The news might have shocked the poor soul since the original Victoria didn't display any trace of intelligence.

What a bunch of losers. It would be fun to destroy them, but even insects have a role to play. So, my dear darling sister, please hold on to your head while it lasts.

THE DAYS given by the headmaster of Trifecta Academy were well spent by Tori. Duke Luwen Rozenreff checked on her from time to time, and sometimes he would bring new books he gained from the capital of the royal palace. The butler or the head maid would make sure to bring her foods prepared by the head chef or sweets to keep her away from hunger while studying. And her handmaidens were preparing her for the best of baths every evening, which she appreciated. All those days, Sabina never visited her, which already circulated throughout the estate.

Since the servants talked to even Sabina's handmaidens, Tori that the wench was having a fit inside her room by lashing on her things and dresses. The handmaiden that talked was the one Sabina thoughtlessly punished after slipping on the floor.

On the other side, rumors about Sabina acting rather strangely after she fell from the stairs circulated. But for Sabina, it was her blasted half-sister who suddenly changed and compromised her standing in the estate. Her hard-earned favor from the Duke and the servants got trashed like nothing when the stupid Victoria started using her brain. Thankfully, Shena was with her along the way. Shena told her to wait for the right time because all good things happened to those who waited. But Sabina's patience was growing thin every time that hypocrite half-sister of hers opened her mouth. Every plan that she worked hard for was slowly being ruined except for one, her growing closeness to the first prince. Sabina was supposed to get a recommendation letter to take the Trifecta Academy entrance exam from the first prince. It was all going according to her plan when that letter arrived. Her perfect plan to snatch the heir apparent title from Victoria vanished into thin air again when the Duke recognized that bitch as a genius instead of her! She won't allow Victoria to pass the test, but she couldn't do that when that bitch wasn't going outside of her room. Even Shena's spy, Mia, was useless since everyone was fussing about that arrogant bitch! That attention was hers, and she couldn't let her take all the credits.

"Lady Sabina, we can still stop her from taking the test." Mia, who was watching the nonstop pacing of Sabina, suddenly interrupted her real master. Shena asked her to come to report what was happening inside Victoria's room. And like what Shena predicted, Sabina's mood turned worse upon hearing that the Duke came to revisit Victoria after his work while bringing a cake from the capital which Sabina didn't receive.

Sabina gave a harsh glare to Mia, but the latter continued. Her loyalty to Sabina was unyielding, "How? The captain of the Rozenreff Knights will be with that pathetic scum when they go to that blasted entrance exam. I asked for Prince Lauren's help to stop the exam, but he said he can't extend his power if the Headmaster of the Trifecta Academy is concerned. So tell me how we can stop her!"

"We only have to stop her from stepping out of this estate, Lady Sabina." A devious smile appeared on Mia's face, which irritated Sabina more.

Throwing the nearest vase in Mia's direction, Sabina snapped. "I said tell me! Not give me a fucking riddle!"

Mia, who's so used to Sabina's tantrums, barely flinched when the vase almost hit her body. "Since Lady Victoria barely leaves her room, they deliver her meals to her. Her handmaidens take turns delivering her food. We can't kill her but we can make her sick for a week, very sick that she can barely stand up but not that sick to die."
