All Chapters of Bullied By Mistake, Spoiled By Fate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

_Alina's POV_As time passed, I began to notice something unsettling about my lessons with Amora. The court etiquette and family history she taught me didn’t always align with the behavior which I observed from other nobles at banquets. At first, I dismissed these inconsistencies as minor mistakes. However, as they continued to occur, my intuition told me that they were not accidental.One afternoon, during swordsmanship and self-defense training, Katie praised my progress. She was strict but fair, and it was clear that she loved teaching. During our break, I seized the opportunity to ask Katie about court etiquette."Katie, can I ask you something? At the last banquet, I noticed that the nobles' manners were different from what Amora taught me," I said, trying to keep it casual.Katie looked surprised. "Really? What specific differences did you notice?"I took a deep breath and began to explain. "For instance, Amora taught me that during a toast, it’s proper to stand up and bow sligh

Caspian noticed the preparations which Beta Thorian was making. Curious and suspicious, he decided to confront Thorian directly. He found him in the grand hall, overseeing the arrangements."Thorian," Caspian called out, his voice sharp.Thorian turned, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern. "Yes, Caspian? What can I do for you?"Caspian glanced around at the bustling activity. "What are all these preparations for?"Thorian hesitated briefly before answering. "They're for Alina's transformation ceremony. Her time is approaching, and Prince Alaric wants everything to be perfect."Caspian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Alina's transformation, you say?"Thorian nodded. "Yes. Alaric believes that she will successfully transform and become the Luna Queen."Caspian forced a smile. "I see. Well, it certainly looks like it will be a grand event."As Thorian turned back to his duties, Caspian's mind raced. He needed to act quickly to sabotage Alina's transformation. Remembering a token whi

"I’m warning you, Alina," Elena said, her voice low and threatening. "Leave the palace. Forget about Alaric. He’s mine. And if you don’t, I’ll make your life a living hell."Alina took a deep breath, refusing to let Elena see her fear. "I'm not going anywhere, Elena. And I'm certainly not giving up on Alaric. You can threaten me all you want, but it won’t change a thing."Elena's eyes narrowed further, her smirk fading. "You'll regret this, Alina. I promise you that."Without another word, Alina turned and left the restroom, her mind focused on finding Juliet. Elena stood there, fuming, her sense of humiliation growing by the second. She couldn’t believe that Alina had just brushed off her threats like that. It was an unprecedented blow to her pride.Determined to retaliate, Elena stormed out of the restroom and found a servant. With a few whispered words and the promise of a generous bribe, she instructed the servant to spill a mixture of oil and water at the restroom door. Her plan

_Alina's POV_As we stood in the banquet hall, I could sense that Juliet wasn't comfortable enough to tell me what had really happened in front of Alaric. I needed to get her alone, somewhere she might feel safe enough to open up."Alaric," I said while turning to him. "Juliet and I are going to the restroom for a moment. We'll be back soon."He looked at Juliet and then back at me, concern etched on his face. "Do you need me to come with you?"I shook my head. "No, I think it's better if we go alone. I’ll make sure that she's alright."Alaric nodded, though he seemed reluctant to let us go. "Alright. But if you need anything, just call."I gave him a reassuring smile before leading Juliet towards the restroom. Once inside, I closed the door behind us, ensuring we had some privacy."Juliet," I said gently, guiding her to sit on a nearby bench. "I need to know what's really going on. Please, let me help."Juliet looked away, her body tense. I noticed the way she held her arm and gently

_Alina's POV_Juliet handed me the drink and gave me a small, grateful smile. "Thank you for understanding earlier, Alina. I was so scared to tell you about Caspian and me. I thought you might judge me or think less of me."I shook my head, squeezing her hand reassuringly. "Juliet, you're my best friend. I might not understand everything about BDSM, but I trust you. I know you wouldn't do anything that wasn't right for you.""It means the world to me that you're so supportive. I was so worried about what you would think."I smiled, trying to lighten the mood. "Well, I might be a bit clueless about some things, but I’m here for you, no matter what. Just promise me that you’ll keep me in the loop if you ever feel uncomfortable or if things get out of hand."Juliet nodded, her smile growing more genuine. "I promise. And Alina... thank you. Truly."We stood there for a moment, the bond between us stronger than ever. The drinks shimmered enticingly under the lights. I smoothly took one and
