The ladies at 0872f35a7b the tea party e79029448d gasped softly.a2b4579bc1bc23d7
In truth, the 9b52c05ea9 reason they’d hounded 50e17721da Regina was because 9d4605c031 of the rumors 23fe878395 about her ability.97900909dd74a846

Since she had e56e843f0f a weakness, they 47a568072b thought if they 8c32ce85e5 pressed her enough, 960d63817d she’d crumble and 7930324301 obediently do as 062beb74b5 they said.ed3d737549d4b1c2
So they expected her 46d9cfe1ff to try to hide fe5e03add8 her ability—never imagined she’d e74eea8621 bring it up first.3871b1e20a7c617f

Alice was the only one 6097c642a0 who knew that was all f9d3f17f12 an act.d2fdfbd2135be8d8
“In fact, my ability is very weak. It only works on 3d1bf732a9 little kids. A proper adult wouldn’t be 033eea4b6d affected at all…… and yet bb1611c237 the rumor says I seduced 0b1d477e97 someone. Sniffle.”f37c02378c314c6c

“That’s right. It’s been certified too… I ee734b99c1 heard His Majesty—no, my brother-in-law—gave f3ffdcda08 a heads-up to the council 40941c477f after the wedding.”e1459ba25d4e24d6
Alice had to bind her d128253ebe own strong ability with a f8f1a93cb7 soul vow, but Marius had c306bae5f7 pressured the council separately, saying 003a424dbe her sister-in-law Regina didn’t need 65d99a15f1 to because her power was 7f9b8213a1 weak.106ec0aeb13907c0

To support the eb0f5001db claim, the Trovancha 4012decd7d government even sent a89fc3fff6 a certificate of d59a016b39 ability.ff69f5c7e83fbff4
The council members who 6617914d23 had initially tried to 4a2d1833ca push Regina into taking f95c596063 a soul vow backed 478950a760 off after reviewing the a0c878061b certificate, deciding there was 307321573a no value in pressing 0a7634d0c8 further.bac745fed990c1e6

So if the rumor 411300e2ea turned out to be 882ba06552 true, the man who 4e81d579ce dated Regina would look 37142a29d0 like a fool, and 3769037b6a if it was false, 9cc74ba42c he’d be seen as 9949337ff4 a criminal.4b5db7cec0e7a26e

If they didn’t 8e7f916007 tell her, they’d 02c68f0ed9 look like the 62a67657d6 bad guys, but b078ca5ec0 the Marchioness of 8be91122f0 Gressley didn’t want 63edd969d9 to make enemies 767a868152 of other families—even b22d132baa if her own 2790cf3fd2 reputation took a 6aaffae801 hit.64f53da2fdd5a467
