"Sister Teresa."
Teresa turned around to see who had spoken.
Princess Fiona wore an impeccable smile as she handed over a glass of red wine.
Her posture was still graceful and serene: "This turn of events truly caught me by surprise. I never suspected Sister Teresa's identity to be so deeply hidden. In the past, it was I who treated you negligently as an elder sister. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Teresa cast an unreadable glance at her, then reached out to take the glass of wine, lifting a smile herself.
To declare allegiance to the Holy Court so decisively at such a crucial moment, regardless of the reasons behind it, Third Princess Fiona of the Saint Vlaro Royal Family was indisputably a figure of great resolve.
Even now, although she knew she had been played by Teresa, Fiona was able to quickly realign herself, carrying a smile as she approached for conversation.
The reason was simple—to survive better.
