The queen was wearing a blue dress, and her hair was loose as it fell over her waist. She gave Marinate a kind smile as she spoke.
"You studied with Charlotte, right?" she asked calmly.
She had heard about this girl before.
Marinate was the daughter of the emperor of the Arya Empire. At Akron Academy, she and Charlotte had shared a quiet rivalry.
Charlotte once told her about Marinate.
She said this girl would always try to stand in her way.
She even tried to take the position of student council president.
Even after losing the election, she continued to scheme against her.
Evelyn knew her daughter well. Charlotte was many things, but clever plotting was not one of them.
When it came to schemes, she was almost foolish.
Because of that, Evelyn had even advised Charlotte on how to deal with people like Marinate.
"Yes, I have," Marinate answered respectfully, smiling lightly.
Evelyn nodded and smiled back. "Did you meet Charlotte after graduation?" she asked.
