Chapter 21: The Party (IV).
Elizabeth's POV
"...your reputation after my announcement will exceed your expectations. Want to test me?"
I stood on my ground, firm and unnerving while Uncle couldn't reply to my generous offer of giving him an announcement to the crowd of nobles that would know his utterly horrible attempt at assassination.
"No... your highness, you are far too kind." He tells me and I continue giving him a fake smile. I wouldn't want to hear his pitiful lame excuses as to why he had given me a carriage with horrible materials to deal with.
"Oh? You flatter me, how about you give me this doll? Then perhaps I won't do it... such a shame you deserve... the recognition. Might give you a boost with the crowd over here."
He laughs nervously looking behind him.
"I should get going and grab you both something to drink. Would juice be alright?" (Duke Damien) tells us, looking over to Melrose and then me.
