around your breast area to keep you from feeling uncomfortable.” Teva smiled wide. “I’ll let you eat. If you need me, call.”
She wanted to ask more questions but realized the woman probably had more important things to do than discuss Bella’s intelligent dress and how the hell it knew to cover up her nips. That was some serious intelligence right there. What earth could do with nipple-covering dresses.
She twirled in front of the mirror. Her hair fell in long spiral curls that somehow didn’t frizz like they normally did when she washed it. Whatever they had in their shampoo was a thousand times better than what she had at home. She slid her hand down her side and smiled. Such a pretty dress. Thankfully, she had a pair of black flip-flops that would go great. It was either that or a pair of sneakers. Those wouldn’t look as nice.
She hummed toward the table and sat to eat. Next, she’d check out the rest of the place. She saw gardens out her window and wanted to see the native flowers.

Bella could lie to herself and say she hadn’t been looking out for Trey, but why bother? She’d been looking around the castle to see if she saw him and even went as far as passing by the library, but it was empty. She sighed and continued through hallways until she came upon an open room. It was massive.
A woman stood talking to others. The moment she noticed Bella, she stopped, a frown forming on her face, and headed straight for her.
“Who are you?”
Bella raised a brow and folded her arms over her chest. “Hello to you, too.”
“I asked you a question.”
“I realize that, but since you were rude, I don’t feel the need to answer it.” Normally she wasn’t this easily aggravated, but the way the woman stared at her—like she was a peasant or something—annoyed her. “Maybe if you told me your name, I’d be more inclined to tell you mine.”
At least five inches taller than Bella, the blond woman had golden eyes that flashed with anger. She curled her lip in disdain. She was young, possibly in her late teens, early twenties, which meant Bella was at least fifteen years the girl’s senior. “My name is Nadeeya. I am the king’s cousin.”
“I’m Bella. Gerri’s assistant.” The other woman’s eyes narrowed farther. Her porcelain skin grew dark with an angry blush.
“You’re human,” she said, like that was a crime.
“Really? I had no idea. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Seeing as I’m probably the only human on this planet, it’s so good to know.” Bella smirked.
“I don’t tolerate insolence,” Nadeeya hissed.
“Maybe you should try not being insolent. Practice what you preach. Grow up in manners before you try acting like an adult. The first step is learning how to speak to people.”
“You stupid—”
“Bella!” She heard someone yell. She turned to her right, and the man from Gerri’s video, Karel, was a few steps away from her. “So good to see you in person.”
“Hello.” She grinned. “Nice to see you in life size.”
Karel nodded, offering her his hand. She shook it, and he stepped next to her, forcing Nadeeya to move away from Bella. Karel glanced at Nadeeya, his lips forming into a tight line. “You’ve met Alyx’s guest, I see.”
“She’s here with the matchmaker,” Nadeeya spat, her lip curling and displaying perfect, white teeth. “There’s no need for her. Alyx knows—”
“Enough!” Karel roared. Bella’s eyes widened. A vein throbbed in the side of his cheek. “What the king decides is none of your concern, Nadeeya. Remember that.” He turned to Bella with a smile. “Have you seen the garden yet?”
Whoa, boy. There was some serious tension in that castle. No matter what planet you were on, there was always going to be drama when you brought in bitchiness. “No, but I was about to go that way.”
“Allow me to escort you,” he said, motioning for her to move ahead of him and completely dismissing
