From the corner of her vision, Tania saw Princess Lerna coming over. While all the princes stared at her sheer beauty, the princesses sneered. None of them wanted Lerna to sit next to them.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable, Lerna almost froze in her place. She knew that she would become a topic of conversation during the breakfast. She didn't want to come but Tania had insisted that she come. Her gaze landed on the Queen of Aquila who was sitting with her two daughters on either side. She looked at her and then averted her gaze. Lerna's stomach dropped. She knew that they wouldn't accept her in a thousand years.
She clasped her hands and started to leave, when Taiyi called her. "Lerna!"
Lerna turned back to look at Taiyi. "Where are you going? Come, sit here!" She pointed to a chair beside her that a servant had just set.
