The Hidden Luna Queen
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Isabelle glare in my direction, but she otherwise kept to herself.
I suppressed a sigh. As long as she left me alone, I’d be fine.
Queen Leonora stayed in place, where she could see everyone. “Welcome to our lovely gardens. I see a few familiar faces, and plenty of newcomers,” she said, smiling as her gaze briefly skimmed over me. “Before I let you get started on your projects, I’ll just leave you all with this: we may hold the world on our shoulders as women, but never forget,” she enunciated with the power of a true Luna, “that we are just as strong as the men at our sides.”
