Chapter 301 - Three Hundred And One: Malevolent Eyes (1/2)

The third point of view :

”It's an honor to be acquainted with your royal highness, the queen,” They all bowed or so - Reina almost fell from her heels. She hated wearing that torturous mountain but Camille had insisted she had finesse if they were going to have their bachelorette party together.

Damn it! Who said she wanted their bachelorette party together? Currently, Camille has assumed the role of a mother hen, making her do things she doesn't want to.

Reina could only blame Eden for this, why was he always competing with Niklaus. No offense, but he met Camille for literally less than a month and decided she's the love of his life. Well, who is she to put asunder what God has joined together. Moreover, Eden was mature enough to take responsibility for his actions.

”You are welcome to my palace,” The queen said to them yet her eyes rested on Judy, questioningly, ”Who are they?”

”Oh,” Judy began the introduction, ”They're friends of mine and Emily - they helped me out during my life as Judy,” He explained, purposely excluding the fact that some of the faces present were unfamiliar- Camille and Lisa. But these are Reina's friends and he trusted her enough to know she made friends with responsible people.

”Oh,” The queen dowager said and stood up from her throne, gliding graciously down the stairs and met them with their head slightly bowed, ”A friend of my son is also a friend to the royal family. Have a great time in the palace, spend as much time as you want here,”

”Urm, they are not staying in the palace,” Judy announced.

”They're not?” A faint flash of disappointment crossed the queen's eyes, she blinked it away, ”Quite a pity then. But you should know that my doors are always open for you all,”

”Thank you, your highness,” They all bowed

”You can leave now and have a happy bachelorette party,” the queen dismissed them with a graceful motion of her hand.

Without saying a word, they all left. But as expected, the crucial discussion began as soon as they left

”Are all the royal family this pretentious - no pun intended, Prince Kai,” Reina said with a hint of sarcasm as soon as they left the queen's throne room.

”Pun noted. But we royal family have to mask our feelings - that's like standard royal etiquette,”

”Royal life is boring,” Lisa yawned.

”It's not as boring as you think, there's enough drama to keep you occupied,” Emily said and as a matter of fact, had her eyes trained on Judy insinuatingly.

The other women looked between the two of them, why does it feel like they were missing a huge drama here?

”Your mother is lonely, take good care of her,” Camille remarked. She was the perceptive and observant one amongst them.

”Huh?” Judy was taken aback by her comment. But then, thinking about it made a lot of sense. When was the last time the queen had a male company other than him ever since her husband died?

A smile suddenly appeared on Judy's face, Camille just solved his problem. The only reason the queen had time to meddle in his case was that she had

forgotten about love. Since she had the time to send women to his bed, why doesn't he set her up for a date and keep her busy?

More than happy for the idea, Judy reached out and hugged Camille to her shock.

”Thank you so much,” Judy ruffled her hair yet didn't forget to turn to kiss Emily knowing how potent a woman's jealousy was nor was he trying to create a misunderstanding.

”You all should have fun,” He placed a quick peck on her cheeks and left.

”Judging from his expression, I can safely guess Judy has no idea that we requested for a -”

Before Lisa could finish the rest of her comment, all the girls closed her mouth with their hands plus a disapproving look.

”The walls have ears,” Reina referred to the numerous guards stationed at strategic points. The palace was as tight as a bank, even tighter, it was meticulously guarded.

”Why do you think we're leaving the palace?” Emily gave her a stupid look yet was conscious of the guards situated around them.

They knew all their plans wouldn't be fulfilled if they stayed in the palace. In here, they were expected to act refined and prim - that was the opposite of this Vagas weekend. They were here to have fun and fun they would get.

So the girls quickly left the palace ground with a look of excitement on their faces. Judy had provided them with a low-key yet expensive car and chauffeur to cater to their needs.

The first place they had gone to was shopping, they were in pursuit of hedonistic pleasure.

”No,” Emily, Lisa, and Cecil became the audience and commentator as Reina and Camille began the fashion parade. They had booked the departmental store to themselves just so they could have enough fun without interruption.
