- Laith Taher 263
The leader made a feast celebrating his brother’s marriage.
Men gathered in Leader Addison’s house and women in
Leader Hammond’s.
Princess Florrie, Abigail, and many other women
sat while Raelene was preparing food with the help of other
women from the Prouds, as well as servants.
Princess Florrie looked at Abigail and said harshly,
“Go work with them.”
Jarvis was right when he believed that Florrie
wanted to retaliate against Abigail. She did not wait for
long, and wanted to hit Abigail with a loud blow at the
earliest chance.
Abigail replied more harshly, “Why don’t you do so
yourself?”
The princess became angry. There was no room for
hidden messages any more, and she had to send cruel,
explicit ones.
The princess said, “I am a princess, a daughter of a
king, and a wife of a leader, not some Bedouin who knows
nothing about life.”
Abigail replied with confidence, “And I am a bride
in my people, and everybody loves me, not a stranger who
nobody can stand. If you are a princess in your people, I am
a princess in mine.”
Raelene smiled when she heard that as she was
passing by, while Florrie became angrier and sighed after
hearing what she heard.
