After hearing Melissa's loud comments, other people as well started whispering and murmuring amongst themselves.
"Oh my. How could this be?"
"This princess is trying to get too much attention. Isn't this her party to begin with?"
"How shameless. I heard that she is a bastard child."
"Yes. Yes. I heard that too. Her mother somehow tricked the King and seduced him, so she was executed."
"Our King is so kind. If it was my father he would have executed both the mother and the child for such a cheap ploy."
Sylvia narrowed her eyes and stopped walking away. If this woman had a problem with her, she wanted to know what it was.
She could clearly hear other people talking about her as they were not even bothering to lower their voices.
And she already had an inkling as to why they were behaving so brazenly.
Had the news spread so fast?
