In the palace, Juliana sought out Darius to have a moment alone without Vivienne.
Vivienne stayed true to her word and kept Darius to herself, so Juliana was more worried about how long she had to stay in the palace.
As long as she slept with Darius, Juliana thought she could save her place a little.
"Where are you going in such a rush?"
Juliana stopped, almost stumbling when she heard Natalie's voice. She thought she was hearing wrong at first, but to her right, Natalie walked with her brother behind her.
"Why are you here?" Juliana asked, looking around for any of Vivienne's spies. "You didn't tell me about this."
"I don't need to tell you my every move. Then that would make it seem like you rule me. I came to the palace because it is time I speak with the king. Is he in there?" Natalie questioned, looking ahead at the door with two guards outside.
"I believe he is in there. Are you well? You don't look well," Juliana noticed again.
