Frost Family Palace…
Thea paced back and forth in her chamber, her thoughts tangled like a web. She couldn't shake the image of Lily embracing Kent in front of millions during the royal court. That moment had troubled her heart since it happened. Tonight, she had to know the truth.
She found Lily sitting by the lotus pond in the palace water garden, gazing at the moonlit sky. Her calm demeanor contrasted sharply with Thea's struggling emotions. Taking a deep breath, Thea approached her sister.
"Lily, what are you doing here?" Thea asked while settling beside her.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about the upcoming Trident War." Lily replied while staring at the lotus flowers.
"Lily, I need to ask you something," Thea said, her voice serious.
Lily turned her head, sensing the weight behind her sister's words. "What is it?" she asked, her brow furrowing slightly.
"Are you in love with Kent?" Thea asked, locking eyes with Lily.
