Damon raised an eyebrow, an agreement with Chloe's words evident in his swift nod.
Ava had spent decades in Y Country, and her roots had deepened over the years. If Ava's misdeeds were to be unveiled, Queen Julia would likely side with Chloe, going as far as to punish Ava unilaterally.
But Ava had two daughters who held significant places in Queen Julia's heart. Having grown up by her side, it was inevitable that Julia would be lenient towards Ava because of her daughters. Moreover, if she were to punish Ava, the royal family's reputation would be tarnished among political circles.
Preserving the royal family's honor was no trifling matter.
Whether considering the situation from a personal or public perspective, Queen Julia was in a dilemma. Instead of putting the Queen in an awkward position, it would be better to catch Ava in the act. Then, everyone could see for themselves, leaving Ava and her daughters no room to wriggle out.
From the looks of it, the mother-daughter trio was slowly falling into the trap Chloe had set.d2
Damon smirked, and his grip was tightening slightly. Chloe hummed in satisfaction.
"That Miss Fiona, she's a bit..." Damon paused, and an indescribable emotion flickered across his face.
Chloe slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at him. "A bit what?"
Damon glanced at Chloe before he replied nonchalantly, "A bit...voluptuous."
Chloe's mouth fell open, and a second later, her eyes were filled with obvious anger. She pulled the blanket over herself, covering her body completely.
She glared at him, obviously upset. "You've seen her?!"
Damon pursed his lips. "I suppose many people have."
Chloe tightened her grip on the blanket, dragging her weary body towards the pillow. She turned her back to Damon, refusing to face him.
Damon had never been one to gossip about others, let alone about a woman.
"So, when you meet her the day after tomorrow, be a little careful with your words and actions, but don't be too deliberate. She's sensitive, and if she senses anything unusual, she may give you a hard time in the future."
After all, she was part of the Y Country's nobles. Although Chloe was a princess, there was no ruler in history who did not fear court officials.
"What does her being voluptuous have to do with me?!"
Chloe pulled the blanket over her head in frustration. She was already in a bad mood, and now she had to be reminded to be extra cautious about another woman's feelings. Regardless of how the other woman would feel, Chloe was extremely upset at the moment.
Her childish behavior caused Damon to raise an eyebrow. He tugged at her blanket, which she was clutching tightly. "What's wrong? Come out, don't suffocate yourself."
Chloe didn't budge.
"Don't suffocate our son and daughter," Damon added.
After a few seconds of silence, the blanket was suddenly lifted. Chloe turned around without opening her eyes.
Damon laughed helplessly. "Why so angry?"
"Who's angry? I'm just tired and need to rest." Chloe retorted. Was she the type to get angry easily?
Damon raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He got out of bed and started to get dressed.
The sound of clothing rustling filled the room for a while, followed by the opening and closing of the door.
