Lina didn't like this at all. She didn't want her husband to smile at another woman like that. She didn't want her husband to look at another womanin the same way he stared at her. Her body burned with jealousy. She felt herself turning into the horrible Empress of Teran.
Tearing her eyes from the window, Lina exited the bedroom. It might as well have been her room. She was the only one who slept in it this entire week. Her husband was nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, she stopped.
Lina wondered where he slept. She always figured it was in another room of this enormous palace. But what if… just what if… he had slept with another woman?
"Oh my god, oh my god, hurry and look!" The maidservant begged, ushering her friend over. "You just missed it!"
"What? What did I miss?!"
"A petal landed on the woman's hand, and the Seventh Prince took it off!"
