Bella POV
“Bella, Let’s pick that navy blue fishtail gown. It looks gorgeous!” Lara suggested excitedly. She insisted I choose my most beautiful dress to make a dramatic entrance for this afternoon’s meeting. In her words, “We are at a war soon. Of course, we need a battle dress!”
I chuckled and nodded, getting myself ready for the upcoming meeting.
About an hour later, one of the servants came to tell me that both the members of the Council and the White Family had arrived. I nodded with a smile, lifted the hem of my long dress, and followed the servant out. I held my head up with a confident smile while descending the grand staircase. I could feel that everyone’s eyes were on me and could vaguely hear their discussion.
“Luna Isabella looks so elegant and confident.”
“Indeed, her aura is quite strong. It’s a pity that she and His Highness is going to break their mate relations, or else she could make a good Queen in the future.”
Those should be from the members of the Council. I really appreciated their nice compliments. I was so glad that I could finally be brave enough and be a different and better version of myself.
“That’s Isabella? How comes? She looks so different.”
“Mom, what’s going on? That little b***h looks like she is glowing.”
“Easy sweetie, what’s the point of looking beautiful now? His Highness is going to dump her today. Lizz, try everything to leave a good impression on the Prince today. You may become the next Luna after that little b***h is cast away.”
“I will, Mom. I always knew that His Highness would kick her out sooner or later three years ago. After all, His Highness is so handsome, powerful, and rich. How can Isabella, an illegitimate bastard deserve him?!”
Those must be from my stepmother and stepsisters. They were as arrogant and rude as before. An illegitimate child? How could they forget that they were the ones who ruined my father and mother’s relations and ruined our family? They really did not have any shame.
“Thank you for coming all the way here, Mr. Brown, Mr. Brook, Mrs. Black,” I walked to the members of the Council and greeted them.
“Luna Isabella, a pleasure to meet you. After receiving your call, the Council sends us as representatives to come and help with you and His Highness’s mate relations issue.” Mr. Brown showed a polite smile and explained.
“Luna, have you and His Highness really decided to end your mate relationship?” Mr. Brook asked.
“It will be such a pity. You and His Highness may reconsider that.” Mrs. Black sighed and showed her sympathy.
“Indeed, Luna Isabella. We just come here today to know more about the issue. If you and His Highness really decide to end your relations, you may come to the Council as this is by no means a small problem.” Mr. Brown continued.
“Thank you for your explanation and nice words. But we have decided...” I smiled genuinely at them, answering their questions.
“Oh sis, I heard that you and His Highness are going to break the mate relations. Poor you. After every means you’ve tried, His Highness still made up his mind to end this marriage.” Before I could finish my sentence, my stepsister, Lizz’s ironic voice sounded.
“So true, Lizz. Our Isabella even tried to jump into the sea to commit suicide once, so as to catch His Highness’s attention. But His Highness didn’t even cast his eyes on her.” Dorra, my other stepsister said with a sarcastic smile.
“Isabella, your father and I always tell you to be a proper lady, but you... You really bring shame to the family.” My stepmother, Dasiy snorted.
Jumping into the sea to commit suicide? Due to the wolfbane toxin in my body, I had lost some memories and couldn’t remember what exactly happened that day, but I could be sure that I didn’t jump into the sea voluntarily.
Forget it, the most important thing now was to end the chosen mate relations.
“AHHHH!! These f*****g bitches!! Let me bite them, Bella.” Lara was so pissed off by them and grunted.
“Relax, Lara, I will handle this.” I talked softly to Lara in my mind, trying to pacify her. Then I turned to Daisy.
“Oh? What do you mean by a proper lady? Do you mean trying everything to leave a good impression on the Prince? I heard you told Lizz to do so.” I smiled lightly and retorted.
“You... You! How could you?!” Daisy pointed at me and barked. She was so angry that even her finger was shaking.
She must be so surprised about my attitude. I dared not to retort before as I was all alone in the White Family. No one would help or protect me. If I dared to disobey her, she would punish me. But now I had Lara and I could no longer allow anyone to bully us.
“Hahaha... Good on you, Bella! Look at her face. She is turning red, so funny!” Lara laughed out loud in my head. And I continued.
“Oops. Shouldn’t I say that in public? But that’s the instructions you always tell us.” The smile on my face widened. It felt so good to fight back. I felt in control.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You make such a mess in the Palace!”
A stern female voice sounded all of a sudden and caught everyone’s attention.
“Your majesty.” They all bowed a little to show respect to the Queen, Lorenzo’s Grandmother.
“Councilors, I totally support the Prince to end the mate relations with her. She has been married into the Palace for nearly three years, yet she hasn’t given birth to any heir. It’s not acceptable. Besides, she doesn’t fulfill any of her responsibilities as a Luna.” Queen Mariana glared at me and said sternly to the councilors. She was never satisfied with my background and status. She also hated me and always wanted to cast me away.
But I didn’t mind her words now as I had decided to leave. With her attitude, I could leave more easily.
“Councilors, Her Majesty is right. I do not fit for the Luna position.”
After hearing my words, Queen Mariana looked at me in surprise.
“Very well, then sign this agreement. I will send this to the Council to officially end you and the Prince’s chosen mate relations.”
I shrugged and prepared to sign it.
“Wait!”
