RHEA'S POV
All I wanted to do was rush back to Spain and give everyone the good news but I had promised to spend Leah's birthday which was two days away. Estefan and I decided to leave the day after Leah's birthday, that way we would still have two days to prove to the court members that King Estevan son before the announcement.
Estefan had called Esmeralda that night and asked her about the situation in the palace. She told him that everything was just as we left it. Everyone was ignoring each other and the reporters were still camped outside the palace.
She even mentioned that Princess Antonella came to visit after we left, and she overheard her telling King Estevan that she tried talking to some court members to support her in approving Estefan as the Crown Prince but they refused because Prince Eugenio already brought them over to his side.
