The way she made it sound like being a stray was a disease. Like I chose to be an orphan.
Fortunately, I had heard things like that too many times to let myself get affected by them.
I watched as Luna Dorcas made her way to stand beside Lucy.
"Even the Royal Princess wouldn't turn down a box of NightSky. You should have educated yourself before throwing a dinner to flaunt before us."
I knew very well the value of the box, but even if I needed it, the last person I would accept a gift from was Lucy Sullivan.
I turned to Mrs Penn. "Please lead the guests inside."
Mrs Penn gave me a look I couldn't quite read, but she reached out her hand while standing behind the two women.
Lucy gave me a small, sad smile that made her look heartbroken as she went into the hall.
She probably would have fooled me six months ago. But right now, I have seen too many things.
