"That's not what I found out, Anastasia," Amelia declares behind Raven, causing me to raise an eyebrow. "I saw you with one of the royal guards a few days ago!"
The revelation of Ryan's presence in my life shocks me, leaving me at a loss for how to react. My mind races in desperation, trying to find a way to refute the accusations. Amelia's words echo through the hall, causing a stir among those present.
"I witnessed the young man leaving your room. You clearly broke the tournament rules, Anastasia. It's strictly forbidden to have relationships with anyone while you're in the tournament. After all, every queen and luna must be faithful to her beloved king and mate."
The truth of her words resonates within me, and I feel the color drain from my face. Raven's gaze is triumphant, her smile widening at my reaction.
"Something you, a fugitive thief, will never be. You're shameless, a disgusting whore!" Raven declares proudly, and I feel the ground crumble beneath my feet.
