Chapter 195 – Nausea (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leah rose from her seat and slipped on a robe. As soon as she was away from the food, she felt as if she were coming to life. But Cerdina moved over to the breakfast table and sat down.

“Let’s talk while you eat,” she told Leah with a smile. “I don’t want to interrupt your breakfast. Blain will make a fuss.”

If Leah lost weight, Blain would blame his mother. Cerdina shook her head as Leah reluctantly sat back down.

“Could you pour us tea?” Leah asked Countess Melissa.

“Yes, Princess.”

Helplessly, Leah lifted her cutlery, trying as much as possible not to smell the food. She could feel sharp eyes on her.

“You don’t look well.”

“I have a slight headache. Thank you for worrying about me.” Leah nonchalantly popped a forkful of food into her mouth and swallowed it. Then she forced a smile.

Unmoving, unblinking, Cerdina watched as Leah’s hands moved mechanically under the pressure of the Queen Mother’s gaze. For as long as Leah could remember, Cerdina had always been kind and gentle to her, but Leah was afraid of her without even knowing a reason. Whenever she was in her presence, fear gripped her as if it had been engraved into her bones.

Leah couldn’t understand her. Their personalities and the ways they thought were entirely alien to each other.

After Blain’s ascension to the throne, Cerdina had been given the title of Queen Mother, though didn’t like being called that. She believed it made her look old.

Perhaps due to her obsession with her youth and beauty, Cerdina looked far younger than her actual age. Often she liked to seduce the younger knights in the palace, and occasionally she even held orgi3s that included other women. It was not a secret. Cerdina made no effort to hide it, so even Leah had heard about it.

That was another area in which Cerdina differed greatly from Leah. Sometimes she asked openly if Leah had had s3x with Blain. But even that was not as disturbing as the pure malice Leah sometimes saw in her eyes.

Unblinking, the Queen Mother watched Leah as she chewed quietly and swallowed.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Leah asked.
