Reborn again to change WHAT?

Chapter 25

Pamela walked to her room and sat by the window. Her silver hair swirled to the wind of the evening rain. Her thoughts flitted back to the day she had fallen off the cliff.
Her life may have ended then but still she got another chance. She remembered the blind haired girl who acted pitiful in front of her whenever his highness would appear. Numerous times Wendy had fallen clumsily or pretended to feel wronged in front of her and acted really sad or frightened. She had some nothing to intimidate the young girl after all she didn't even care for the crown Prince. But rather than allowing her to peacefully break the engagement, she was killed. She knew who had been responsible, only one person was with her as she walked up the mountain.
Now she had her revenge, she purposefully made the invitation letter arrive at Wendy's house just as she expected the girl jumped at the chance to be with the crown Prince.

She also knew from her spies about the torture Wendy was undergoing and waited to see how she would try to attack her again.

She twirled the dark wine in her glass and scoffed at the painting on her wall. It was a painting of two giant lillies, one was white and the other was gold. She laid down her glass on the table and stood up from her armchair. She moved her thin shawl closer to her delicate thin shoulders. She was in her light thin sleeping robe which hung loosely but covering her well enough from the cold.
She went near the painting and touched it lightly as if she was afraid it would break.

"Alfonzo, how dare you leave me?" she muttered with a broken smile.
She turned to look at the moonlight and while slightly swaying, she moved towards the window.

"Why? I hate you. So why do you appear in my dreams? I know it's because you are still there, right? That bastard couldn't have killed you, right?"

She kept talking to herself trying to convince herself of the longing inside her heart. "You will come to meet me again. Bringing me the flowers of red valley or some from the bleak mountains. Wouldn't you darling?"

She sighed and chuckled "Why? Why did this happen to us? Why am I even inside these walls? Is it because we loved?"

She choked trying to hold back her tears. Then a maid knocked on her door.
"Your majesty, his majesty wants you to have dinner with him."

She frowned. Have dinner with him? I should just kill him. She tried to sober herself with some water knowing it wasn't yet time for her revenge. While her maids helped her dress, she thought about the wedding of Edith. She resembled her daughter, the daughter she had lost and her only child. The daughter of her love whom she had to give up to another world. Was she even alive? Oh to see her at least once would reduce the sorrow in her heart. Why did Edith resemble her? Her gaze was indeed very familiar.

She walked in a daze to the dining table. King Renald Waze sat in his seat and greeted her.

"My dear Queen you look gorgeous tonight."
She was already used to his tone and the looks he gave her while admiring her. In the beginning it used to turn her stomach but not anymore. She had also successfully gained control of the inner Palace so the servants were quite loyal to her.

She knew the next step would be to go with him to his chamber. But as soon as the meal ended the King was fast asleep. She had avoided him always and the King would never realize his Queen had never slept with him.

"Take good care of everything," she ordered the butler of her palace who bowed and left the room.

She was back in her room looking at the painting quite sadly "He is nothing like you. How did you two even end up being brothers?"

I wiped some sweat from my brow. The plant growth spell was useful, I didn't expect to see such a run down kingdom but Zeda really needed a lot of help.
