After the Prince had left for the battle for three days, Genevieve had developed sleepless nights and so much restlessness. She felt alone, unaided,d, and lost. She had missed him so badly and had always prayed daily for his safety. She had eavesdropped on how other servants had talked about the prince's brothers—how ruthless, inhuman, and unsympathetic they were.
"They wouldn't hesitate to behead Prince Edric if they get the chance."One of the servants had gossiped with her colleague that sunny day while Genevieve was passing by. Unknown to them, they had no idea Genevieve had passed by them. They were so engrossed in their chitchat.
