The Silent 493

493.Chapter 493

"How dare you, Eliza, to wear the purple cloud pattern that symbolizes royalty?" Matthew finally thought he had found a weakness and immediately scolded Eliza. "Shut up," Gabriel interrupted sharply, cutting him off mid-sentence.

'Fool. Everyone knows this. Would Eliza not know that the purple cloud pattern symbolizes royalty?' he thought to himself. But the fact that Eliza dared to wear it, and so openly, already revealed an astonishing truth. Sophie's jealousy was so intense that her expression twisted involuntarily for a few seconds.

'What merit does Eliza have? Such an honor, such nobility-shouldn't these be mine?' Sophie thought bitterly, her head hanging low.

If Eliza knew what Sophie was thinking, she would probably laugh at her delusions.

Eliza's purple cloud patterned attire was a special honor bestowed upon her by the king and the Empress Dowager after their deliberation.
