The first ceremony was done and hence the women of Atria left the room in an organized way and made their way to the royal garden where all the men were waiting for them. The people of Atria came to watch the ceremonies that will lead to the crowning of their new king and queen.
Marian held Elsie's hand and helped her to get to the garden. She spoke to her in a hushed voice and explained to her what she needs to do not just to ensure that Esteban becomes her but also helps to crush Elena's pride and ego. Elsie appreciated the advice and thanked me for it.
She glanced back at her half-sister who was busy daydreaming again. She smiled with pleasure as she imagined the look on Elena's face when she took Esteban from her. She could just imagine how hurt and broken Elena would be when that happens. And Esteban will have my choice but to let her go. Elena noticed Elsie's stare and turned around to meet her eyes. The two looked at each other in smiles each celebrating the other's defeat.
