In fact, Lady Melissa had never actually gotten an audience with the King, and he had never talked to her privately like he did during the hunting event. What changed? Perhaps it was the rumours about Lady Melissa.
In her past life, nobody was keen to find out about her since she didn't even have her debute ball, and she was seen as a shy girl, which she used to be, one that couldn't stand up for herself, which was a perfect target for bullies.
In addition to that, she was a member of the founding family so it'd be understandable if the King had wanted to learn more and more about her- but he had never done so in her past life.
Which was why she begged the question, why did the King even want to learn more about her?
It was an advantage to her of course, if she was favoured by the King, but it was hard for her to put on a smile every time she would meet him because of how much she resented him.
