Chapter 78 Foolishly Inviting Trouble

• RONA'S POV
• I was in my room, sulking. I still felt angry because Richard refused to promise me not to take another woman after me. He and his cabinet must have had plans of bringing another woman who was better suited to be his wife and bear his children. A famous alpha female, a strong woman. Not a fugitive like me, hiding my demons beneath the mask of a weak princess.
• Move me to the empress's room my ass. Why should I move there when I would be demoted and asked to move back when he gets a better bed warmer? I would rather not go at all than endure the pains of being a laughingstock. Rather than get demoted after some time, it's better not to be promoted in the first place.
