Chapter 0256

The next morning, Elva was still resting peacefully after I awoke and changed, so I left her in the care of

Charlotte, the Nanny, and Mark, and went down to breakfast alone.

I was nearly there, when both Veronica and Tiffany blocked my path.

“We want to talk to you,” Veronica said.

We were about to have breakfast beside each other. “Could it wait until breakfast?” If they were going to

yell at me about ‘my‘ behavior last night, I’d prefer it not to happen on my empty stomach.

“No,” Veronica said.

Okay, then. I sighed in resignation and followed them to a quieter spot away from the doorway to the

dining room.

Tiffany crossed her arms. “We talked to the other–you last night at the gala.”

“She looked like you and spoke like you, but it was clear to us both that she was not you,” Veronica said.

“Yeah, plus… why would you change clothes? That’s not like you at all. And then change back?” Tiffany

shook her head. “It doesn’t add up, Piper. So spill. Tell us what’s really going on.”

My heart pounded. Of all people that didn’t know the difference, why were these two so observant?

Even the King had been willing to believe the worst of me.

“It was me… I was just having a bad night,” I said. I didn’t want to lie, but I couldn’t tell anyone the truth,

not even them. Too many people knew it already, from Nicholas’s guards to some of the servants. It was

a miracle the truth hadn’t leaked yet.

That it hadn’t was a compliment to the strong character of everyone on Nicholas’s payroll.

“That was not a bad night,” Tiffany said.

“That wasn’t you,” Veronica added.
