Cordelia was sitting at the head of the table. She turned to the woman who had been talking and filling them in on the gossips. Though she didn't like the woman, for being closer to the royals than she was, she had invited her here to confirm the rumors, since their princess was too busy to attend her party.
Within a few minutes, Cordelia was filled in on everything, but the more she listened, the angrier she became. Her cousin was back in Nightbrook? And not only that, the human wasn't dead and was back with him?
How could they be alive when she had believed until now that that arrogant cousin of hers and his useless wife were dead?!
Not that she would have minded if it were just Rohan who had not died and was back, as despite the months that had passed after the hunt, she still believed somewhere in her mind that he would be a better partner for her than Mr. Clifton at running their business and affairs.
