Chapter 121
Mody remained quiet, her gaze slowly dropping to the floor. When Noah noticed she wasn’t going to say anything else, he turned to the other two girls.
They were also silent as well, none of them daring to mutter a single word to Noah. It was hilarious seeing how their postures and attitude had switched so quickly.
Even the servants who had been so nonchalant and disrespectful when I got here didn’t look like they had anything to say.
“And what about them?” Noah turned to me, pointing at the servants. “I’m guessing they’re in on this too.”
He took my silence as an answer and turned to Askhan. “I believe I don’t need to tell you what you need
to do.”
Askhan nodded, a firm look on his face. “They’ll all be punished for their behaviours. I can assure you
that.”
He turned to another line of them. “I want all of Thea’s things arranged and put back in all the right places. Not a single stone should be dropped in the wrong place or else you can all kiss your jobs here
good bye.”
They visibly paled at Askhan’s words and all bowed their heads, muttering a string of apologies and other things I didn’t bother paying attention to.
With that, they all made their way back to my quarters and began quickly putting my things back the
way it had been in the first place.
I turned to Bella and her trio, my lips slowly curling into a smirk. They all stood there in silent anger,
unable to say or do anything.
When I first came here, they had seen themselves as the winners and the figures at the top of the
pyramid. Now things had taken a drastic change and there was barely anything they could do about it.
As soon as I had tasted something wrong in the cookies, I had immediately tried to contact Jane using the
mind link we shared with each other.
“I still don’t feel too good.” My hand immediately went to my head.
Lucian turned to me, a look of worry in his eyes as he watched me. “Do you want to sit down?”

I nodded my head, Lucian made a move to come towards me but Askhan beat him to it. Before I could even decline the offer, the royal prince was already by my side.
“Are you okay now? How do you feel?” He asked, putting a hand on my forehead. “Your head hurts?”
“Just a little bit.” I smiled a little.
Madison looked like she was going to explode at any second. If she was pissed by anything, it was most likely at the close proximity between me and Askhan. I honestly didn’t blame her for it.
It didn’t mean I was going to give her a single respite about this though. She had done hers a few minutes ago. My turn.
Her face twisted with jealousy when Askhan gently cupped my chin, examining my face for something
known to him.
“Do you want to head out for some fresh?” he asked. “That might help with how you’re feeling now.”
I nodded. “I think that’ll be nice.”
He jutted out his arm to me as an invitation. I silently wrapped my arm around his and with that, we began making our way out of the palace.
“Are you mad at me?” Askhan asked after a minute of silence.
I turned to him. “About what?”
There was a small pause before he spoke again. “For choosing a concubine. Are you mad at me for doing
that?”
I thought on it for a while, not wanting to answer immediately. I remained silent, not giving a specific answer to his question.
From the corner of my eyes, I could feel Askhan’s eyes lingering on me. He was watching, waiting for some sort of reaction from me but so far, nothing.
“Thea.” Askhan stopped.
I did the same, turning to look at him in surprise. There was a soft look in his eyes as he watched me. It seemed he had something to say. Just as he opened his lips to speak, we both felt the presence of another
person.
I whipped my head forward to see it was none other than Quentin. He was slowly making his way

towards me, a confident smile on his face as he ascended the stairs.
I didn’t like that look on his face. Given the chance, I wanted nothing more than to wipe that satisfied look
on his face.
Would that be satisfying? Absolutely.
“Fancy seeing you here.” Quentin said.
I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to roll my eyes. He had just stepped out of the car and had a weird look in his eyes.
Was he going to drive off again?
I didn’t have a single clue his reason for coming here and quite frankly, I wasn’t sure I knew why.
Quentin’s tires were covered in mud. I also noticed a couple of leaves had stuck themselves to his shirt. It looked like the petals of a familiar flower.
