MAEVE'S POV
I thought about it long and hard, yet I could hardly think of anything that spread faster than a rumour.
A funny thing about rumours? They didn't care about truth, or if you were titled, or even the fucking goddess. Once a rumour was out in the open, there was no taking it back, no concealing it.
The only thing you could do was allow it to run its course. And right now, I had lit the match by announcing Lydia as certifiably insane. It was left to the crowd to do the rest.
"That's absurd," Lydia screeched, turning to face the murmuring crowd.
Most people had begun to give her wary little looks. Some even went as far as taking a few steps back, as if they feared the snarling wolf would suddenly set the grounds on fire.
This was certainly not Lydia's lucky day. Unfortunately for her, I was only just getting started. There was still so much more to come.
