The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0257

I entered the dining room and sat down for breakfast across from Tiffany and Veronica and beside

Susie. Susie gave me a supportive smile.

“How’s Elva?” she asked.

“She was just exhausted,” I replied. “I let her sleep in this morning.” 1

“Oh good. I was worried.” When Susie said something like that, I believed her.

Jessica sat on Susie’s other side. She quietly ate her breakfast without making much fuss. However,

further down the table from her, Olivia and Lilliana were both glaring at me.

“I’m surprised the King let her stay,” Olivia said loudly to Lilliana, who agreed.

Tiffany rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t aware that was any of your business, Olivia. Maybe you should focus on

yourself.” Softer, to only Veronica and me, she grumbled, “Like usual.”

“Did you say something, Tiffany?” Olivia called.

“Nothing to worry about,” Tiffany replied.

Olivia frowned. Everyone went back to their breakfast.

Lilliana, however, did not seem as willing to let things go. “Piper’s behavior from the gala is inexcusable,

no matter what you say. She doesn’t deserve to even be eating breakfast with us, let alone, to stay in the

competition.”

“Let it go,” Veronica said.

“No,” Lilliana snapped. Her wilting flower façade had been crumbling for a while now. I noticed at the

gala last night. She’d glared more than usual when Nicholas’s back was turned. Usually she’d hide it

better.

I wondered if it had to do with how Nicholas had been giving Olivia and me more attention than he had

to her, when she had been the supposed favorite for so long. Lately, it seemed, she had been falling out of

favor.

“Could you imagine someone like that as Luna? Our Kingdom would be the laughing stock of the entire

continent. She’s a disgrace, An embarrassment. Someone should show her the door before she makes

everything worse.”
