Ellena thought her luck must be due to her persistence and patience. Yes, she had to take a long detour to achieve what she had now... but it didn't matter.
What's important was the end game.
She could finally get what was rightfully hers.
Ahh... what time was it by the way? She was wondering. She had been waiting in the library for almost eight hours already. She was so damn hungry.
Should she go and eat something?
Uff.. no. She must hold it a bit longer. It would actually work in her favor if she later passed out from hunger. She would look extremely pitiful. Mars wouldn't be too hard on her if she passed out.
Ellena could always eat something later. Now, she must be patient. Like they said, good things come to those who wait.
"My lady, the prince and Lord Gewen just arrived."
A servant's voice moved Ellena from her reverie. She looked up with teary eyes and nodded weakly.
"Thank you. Where is he now?" she said.
