Chapter 1627: 1626 exposing each other’s shortcomings

“Elinka, are you asking for a beating?” Monica finally lost her temper, “I am a princess, and you are just a marquis’s daughter, by what right do you speak to me this way?”

Elinka leaned in, provocatively saying, “Then hit me!”

Monica couldn’t hold back anymore. She raised her hand to slap Elinka across the face, but Elinka dodged faster than Monica’s hand could reach. Elinka quickly moved aside, and Monica ended up slapping someone else on the shoulder.

The person struck was a very gentle rich madam, who after being hit, furrowed her brows and said, “What are you doing? We are all guests invited by the princess; why are you fighting here? When the princess arrives and sees us fighting, do you think she will invite us again?”

Monica rubbed her sore hand and then said, “It wasn’t me who wanted to fight, but someone was deliberately provoking me.”

The rich madam persuaded, “Your Highness, your status is very noble, how can you just hit people like that?”

Monica glanced at her, planning to scold her as well, but Alisa stopped her, “Your Highness, we are not here to quarrel; please, do not delay our important matters!”

Monica calmed down a bit, nodding her head saying, “Um, I understand.”

But Elinka did not plan to let it end there. She continued, “Those women from minor households just don’t know the rules. They’re so young, yet instead of doing something worthy, they prefer to marry someone as a concubine. Every time they go out, they take a crowd with them, as if they are afraid others won’t know she is someone’s mistress.”

Monica truly became angry now; she cared no longer about maintaining her ladylike demeanor and charged at Elinka, grabbing her hair and shouting, “You vile woman, how have I wronged you for you to keep insinuating things about me? My relationship with His Royal Highness is a matter of mutual love, not an affair, how dare you demean me?”

After she had disheveled Elinka’s hair, she ran to the side and cried, saying amid her tears, “I really am a miserable woman, all of you say that marrying His Royal Highness is my great fortune, but His Royal Highness is hardly ever at home, and if I am bullied, there is no one to speak for me! Look now, a marquis’s daughter dares to scold me outright.”

Although those noble women generally did not regard the common-born Monica highly, they liked seizing the opportunity to educate their peers, so many came to speak on Monica’s behalf.

One rich madam said, “Miss Elinka, this is where you are wrong. Her Highness did not offend you, why must you speak ill of her?”

Another rich madam said, “His Royal Highness is not at home, and Miss Elinka can say anything she wants about Her Highness, but what if His Royal Highness came back? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll settle scores with you?”

Elinka, who had become heated in the moment, actually did not want to offend Monica, but every time she saw Monica acting that way, it infuriated her. If Monica had not acted first, then it could have been her, Elinka, becoming the princess of Busodi.

Monica lamented, “Had I known it would turn out this way, I wouldn’t have come to this gathering. Rather than being bullied here, I might as well have stayed home to take care of the children.”

Those noble madams and misses collectively criticized Elinka’s behavior, although they might not really think that Elinka did anything wrong, but they merely wanted to feel a sense of achievement by scolding someone else.

Their accusations gave Elinka a headache, and she yelled, “Enough already,” then sat down next to a table.

Alisa, seeing Monica being bullied, felt very angry and really wanted to teach the arrogant Elinka a lesson.

Just then, a daughter of an Earl came over and whispered to Monica, “Your Highness, I have a secret about Elinka, are you interested?”

Monica, who was faking her cries, rubbed her eyes and returned to her former composure, “You wouldn’t be asking me to give something in exchange for Elinka’s secret, would you?”

The Earl’s daughter smiled and said, “Of course not, I simply cannot stand Elinka’s behavior.”
