Since the previous night, Ivan had been in a bad mood and hadn't spoken to anyone. To make him feel better and to demonstrate the power of connections, Briena decided to bring Ivan to the palace under the pretence of meeting Charlotte. She had already arranged an appointment with the princess.
They arrived at the residence designated for Charlotte.
Briena began explaining, "Ivan, all royal family members have separate villas inside the palace that belong exclusively to them. The main part of the palace we saw is where the queen stays…"
Ivan listened to her quietly, his mind still preoccupied with thoughts of Natalie.
Meanwhile, at the palace, Charlotte had just returned to her residence after being infuriated by Natalie. That bitch! How dare she return? She and her mother both deserve to die. They are not royals. I am the only princess of the royal family.
"Charlotte, what happened?" Briena called out to her.
