Revenge of a Forsaken Queen
chapter 3
[Ivana filled with sadness stayed in her room for two days without seeking out any of her siblings or father, but later, she recuperated and became lively again]
Helen
Yes my lady do u need anything
Ivana
No
just wanted to know why I haven't received letters since the last ball
Helen
oh, the Duke put u on probation, so any incoming letter will be sent out with a request that states you are on probation
Ivana
really
he really wants to humiliate me in front of everyone. Well, they should suit them
Helen
now that I think about it a letter from the imperial palace came in today, so the Duke might be coming to see you
Ivana
He should better not
Philip
I should better what?
Ivana
(shocked by the presence of the Duke, she trembles in fear) I'm sorry father I didn't mean to say such
louise
look at her behaving all good but within her bears a devil
Ivana
(looks at her brothers with eyes filled with hatred)
raul
(she has never stared at me like that )
Philip
A letter from the imperial family arrived stating that you will attend the ball as the fiancée of the crown prince
Ivana
so you're saying that I should attend the imperial families party but not the salon parties of the other nobles
Philip
(looks at Ivana in contempt)
Ivana
(in thought) that eyes again
Philip
so what are you implying
Ivana
what I'm trying to say is that I do not want to disobey father's orders
Philip
but you're not disobeying my orders
Ivana
(starts thinking: in the novel the Duke was an easy-going person that despised his daughter so it is natural for him to want to sell Ivana off to the imperial family since his beloved wife died after birthing Ivana) father I would like to ask u a favor
raul
(looks at her immensely)
louise
(gives her a look of disgust)
Ivana
I would like you to reject the letter sent to us by the imperial family stating that princess Ivana de grandez isn't feeling well so would like to exempt herself from the party
Ivana
I know I'm not wanted in this family, so I will try my best to live quietly as possible
Philip
what do u mean you're not wanted
raul
Ivana don't try to insult father
Philip
who told you that you are not wanted
raul
(in thoughts) she's trembling
Philip
(looks at her pitifully)
Ivana
father I will obey your commands please don't punish me
(instantly, Ivana passes out due to fear of being punished by her father)
louise
IVANA STOP PULLING STUNTS LIKE THIS
IVANA!!!!!!!!
