Bella's face was unable to hide her anger, "Why did you come suddenly? Without any notice?!"
Queen Ylaya's previously smiling face instantly turned somber.
Lily Hemsworth quickly stepped forward to pull Bella behind her and said to Queen Ylaya:
"What Bella means is that if Arabella had given us a heads up, we could have arranged a proper reception. But as it is, we haven't prepared anything..."
"Why do I need to be arranged to return to my own home? Is Princess Ava treating me as an outsider?"
Lily's expression stiffened, and when she glanced at Arabella, her eyes were filled with an ominous light.
However, it was only for a moment.
She brought forth a naturally helpless smile, looking at Arabella, speaking softly.
