William pov
The moment she told me that she didn't get time to read my letter, I knew instantly that she had not received my letter. I was even sure that it was her father doing. He must be worried about her. After all, she was not even 16 and the life of the royal palace was too dark.
So, I took the benefit of the chance and rejected her coldly. I wanted her to stop me but at the same time i didn't want her to call me just in case my resolve broke.
I took a deep breath when she did not call me. I didn't know I was relieved or hurt more. But the day had not finished yet. Who would have known that she would go straight to Gerard and insult him subtly.
