Athena could tell from Margaret’s expression that she had truly taken her words to heart,
Athens quickly stepped forward to comfort her grandmother, saying, “Grandma, don’t listen to such talk, I won’t be bullied–have saveone’s protection”
Of course, she was referring to Prince Kander
However, Margaret still seemed down. Having spent her whole life as a woman, she understood all too well the hardships women endured
There were countless ways for those in the inner courtyard to forment others.
Xander couldn’t constantly intervene in women’s all.
He couldn’t always be by Athena’s side. The road ahead washers to walk alone.
Margaret understood everything perfectly, though she kept her composure. Looking at Athena, she said gently, “Don’t worry, child. I’m perfectly fine p>
Looking at her grandmother, Athena felt an unspeakable ache in her heart.
She had always put Athena’s well being first, willing to bear any hardship herself rather than let Athena suffer even the slightest harm,
Henry and Eloise let Athena’s residence, both wearing extremely grim expressions.
Eloise’s eyes brimmed with unshed tears, her spirits utterly crushed
Eloise put three steps between herself and Henry. Henry tumed back, his face cold with anger, and roared at her, “This is the “fine” daughter you’ve raised if I’d known it would come to this, I never should have brought her back. I should have let her suffer a few more years so she’d know who truly cares for he
Eloise was scolded into silence, tears streaming down her cheeks.

But the Maynard family have high standards, and if I were to propose the match myself, they might not agres. That’s why I thought of asking Margaret for help”
At this point, Eloise’s voice trailed off
Jnwardly, she thought bitterly, ‘All my well laid plans, ruined by Athenal
Henry’s face darkened with rage as he growled, “It’s all because that son of yours can’t accomplish anything) if only he had even a minor official post now, arranging his marriage wouldn’t be this difficult J
Henry clenched his jaw and sighed heavily. “We still have to find him something to do. Otherwise, it he keeps mixing with all sorts of shady character every day, he’s bound to go astray sooner or later”

“You should go. In fact, you should have gone earlier, Henry sighed with resignation. “If it weren’t for the Queen, are would have visited her long a That poor child has suffered enough p>
Elbise nodded obediently. “You’re quite right, my lord p>
Without delay, Eloise returned to her residence, changed into fresh attire, gathered several gifts, and headed to the bare residence
Willow had been recuperating from her injuries all this time. Although Michael had come to visit her since she was hurt, his demeanor always felt distant and perfunctory.
Even when he inquired after her well–being, Willow sensed there was an invisible barrier between them,
No matter what she did, Michael just didn’t like her.
