"Lady Sera, you don't have to be too disappointed. Prince Kaiden is just going through a phase right now. He has liked you for so long. There is no way he would turn away from you now."
One of Lady Sera's followers immediately tried to cheer her up. She and her family had invested a lot in Lady Sera, so she could not have failed to become the queen.
The other ladies nodded as well, trying to make her feel good.
"Thank you, everyone. I feel a lot better with your support. But I would like to be alone for some time now."
She told them, and they nodded and decided to give her some space. They behaved like good friends all the way until they exited her room.
"Tsk, what is going on? We were so sure that Prince Kaiden was going to take Lady Sera as his wife, but look at all this."
"Not only does he not appear with her, but he has yet to see her son either."
"On the other hand, that outsider… should we change sides? It is not too late."
