"Your father sent you the details four months ago, didn't he?"
The First Elder clasped his hands together. "You received the letter from Nickel, right?"
"I received it," Rosalina snapped, her voice sharp.
"Good," the Elder continued. "Our family has always wanted to take over the entire continent of Auranel from those Hayes dogs."
"We have been talking with the Thorne family for a long time. If it weren't for your useless mother, we would have already secured a strong alliance by now."
Rosalina's hands clenched tightly. Veins popped up on the back of her hands.
She gritted her teeth hard. Talking about her mother like that made her blood boil. 'One day I will make all of you regret this,' she thought angrily.
The First Elder kept speaking, his voice turning serious.
