It was always easy to flatter someone who was full of themselves. Just a few sweet words and a sprinkle of compliments were enough to make Arabella's heart flutter with pride.
What she didn't realize, however, was that the more she flaunted her wedding ring in front of others, the more pathetic she would look once Edmund announced that the Duke and Duchess had risked the kingdom's food supply just to fund their lavish lifestyle.
The very ring she thought would make people admire her would soon become the reason for her own downfall.
"Once again, thank you for inviting me, Your Majesty," said Brielle as their little tea party finally came to an end.
Arabella was still glowing from all the compliments Primrose had given her. She couldn't wait to show off her ring to everyone she passed on her way home.
Meanwhile, Mirelle was happily handing out her new perfume line to all the ladies, each one packed inside a cute pink gift box.
