Claire’s face twisted like it did when she was annoyed. She wasn’t used be being told no by anyone. I imagined it must have been extra difficult for her to have to take direction from a rogue – Rogue King or not.
Yet, she held her tongue, maybe realizing she was way out of her depth here.
Richard turned from her, disregarding her as quickly as he had acknowledged her, returning his attention to me. “Come, Sienna. I want to learn everything there is to know about you.”
Any remaining negative emotions disappeared and I beamed, feeling important for the first time in maybe forever.
And I was so happy already.
With this alone, the rogues had my full loyalty. After all, I was their princess now.
