Recap from last chapter.

"Make me your wife." Camille said.

"I'm afraid that's not possible, you see I am already getting married to Lady Beatrix soon." Karlheinz said disappointed.

"Your concubine then." She said without hesitation.

A gasp was heard as Selena opened her eyes. Karlheinz and Burai quickly rushed to her side.

"Jasmine, please escort Lady Fernis to her manor and inform Count Fernis that she will be returning in one week to become a member of the Royal Harem." Karlheinz said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Camille said.

She walked out with Jasmine not forgetting to shoot Selena a triumphant smile.

Selena's POV

I stood besides my sister as everyone went to pay their respects to the 'newly' wedded couple.

Today was Lady Beatrix's wedding. She was decked up in her bridal attire politely receiving guests besides her husband.

Not many people were surprised when Karlheinz decided to remarry as Cordelia had yet to give him a child.

In fact majority of the nobles were pleased with his decision, believing that Beatrix would make a better queen than Cordelia.

Cordelia had been furious, the maids said that she and Karlheinz had gotten in very heated arguments because of the issue.

Well she argued and Karlheinz just ignored her.

So I was stuck placating Cordelia and making sure she doesn't embarrass herself and prove everyone right.

Soon a group of women approached me, Camille and her 'friends'.

Camille had officially become a member of Royal Harem and her social status was automatically boosted.

All those who had shunned her before, were now seeking to curry favour with her.

"Selena!!!" Camille said as she hugged me.

I fought the urge to shove her away so instead I gently pulled her off me.

She smiled as if embarrassed and said, "Oh sorry, I was just excited to see you." She said sheepishly

"That's okay, but please it's Princess Selena to you

"That's okay, but please it's Princess Selena to you." I said with a smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were okay now after that incident with Lord Louis, I'm sorry for calling you by your name." She said with watery eyes.

The women who came with her immediately began to silently chastise me.

"I didn't know that Princess Selena was so petty, holding grudges like this." One said.
