Something I Must Tell You

Adeline raised a brow. These women thought they were better than her. She could see it in their gloating stares and faux smiles. Or perhaps, they needed something to encourage them of who was in charge here.

"And what makes you ladies think you're more suited for the Queen?" Adeline mused. "Perhaps one of you here has a higher prestige than a Princess?"

Instantly, their arrogant smiles dispersed. They glanced at each other, uncomfortable with the fact she might've not been a Pure-Blood, but her bloodline was pure royalty. 

Adeline Rose was more suited for the Queen than any of these women here. And she knew it. 

"W-well, Your Grace, it's just, by tradition, the Queens of Wraith have usually been Pure-Blooded Vampires," Miss Baybrook quickly explained. She twisted her lips into a polite smile that was more welcoming than her previous one.
