The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0601

"I don't understand," I said. My thoughts were entirely addled. How could Nicholas's parents not only forgive Bridget for all that she had done but also continue to want her to be Queen? Hasn't she proven herself unsuitable? Unstable? At least, disrespectful?

They had to have known that she slapped Nicholas. Since they didn't care about me, I wasn't totally surprised that Bridget's actions against me had been thrown to the side. But surely, Bridget's attack on a prince wouldn't be ignored?

Nicholas frowned deeply. When he spoke, the words came out with disgust. "They said that her actions only prove that she has the mettle to survive in aggressive situations. They seem to think that she will do what needs to be done to protect the crown."

"But she's only looking out for herself," I said.

"I agree. Unfortunately my parents do not see it the same way. They think her actions will shift to protect all of the royalty once she and I are married."

I tried to understand their point of view, but it was difficult. Perhaps for the sake of self-preservation, Bridget might extend her defensiveness to include Nicholas. But I doubted it. Especially because of the way she had treated Nicholas already.
