With Rachael gone and now that I had sorted out my feelings about Reiner, the only thing that bothered me was the unchangeable fact that someone wanted me dead. The ill wish left a very bad taste in my mouth, and I shivered just at the thought of it. Who wanted to get rid of me? And why?

I returned to help Queen work on her garden after that and she bombarded me with questions about what Rachael talked to me about. Queen was seriously into gossip although I could sense that she was genuinely worried about me as well.
“Nothing much. She told me that Knight didn’t marry me because he loved me,” I said before I flashed Queen a smile.
“Oh…and you said?” she asked as her hands stopped midair during her effort to cut a stem.
“I told her that Knight loves me because he told me so. I’ve decided to believe his words and that was that,” I replied, concisely.
