Garfield's POV
"Don't you think your actions were too reckless? Didn't you notice Louis's expression? He looked like he really wanted to kill you!"
The woman's shrill screams annoyed me, and I furrowed my brow, accidentally agitating the wound on my temple.
This only worsened my mood.
I gave a cold glance at Maria, who was pacing around the room like a fly, feeling gloomy.
"If you're not here to thank me, then you can shut up, Maria."
"Thank you? Why would I thank you?" Maria sneered at me, "Louis never acknowledged me as his mate from the beginning to the end! Let alone letting me become his Luna!"
"Do you think stealing Claire's royal token would help you become Louis's mate?"
I mercilessly exposed Maria's scheming, almost cursing through gritted teeth, "You're incredibly foolish! You almost ruined our plan!"
"Who says I stole..."
"Shut up, you fool!" I interrupted Maria's sophistry with a stern voice, "Do you think your little tricks are clever? Anyone with half a brain could see how guilty you looked last night! If I hadn't taken out the prepared letter in advance to attract everyone's attention, you would have been dealt with by Louis on the spot!"
Thinking about last night's scene, Maria seemed a bit guilty, but she still stubbornly muttered. "How could Louis possibly deal with me?! I'm her brother's wife, I'm Prince Chris's mother!"
"Is that so? Then next time you do something stupid, don't look to me for help."
I was too lazy to say another word to such a fool. I calmly withdrew my gaze, continuing to treat the wound on my temple in the mirror.
"You!"
Maria struggled for a moment but decided to submit. "Okay, it was me who sent someone to steal Claire's necklace without informing you. I apologize for that. But afterward..."
"This is the last time, Maria."
Through the reflection in the mirror, I warned Maria expressionlessly.
"If you still can't learn to be smarter, our cooperation ends here."
My threat distorted Maria's features instantly. But she clearly understood that she couldn't become Luna relying solely on the fabricated secret. Especially when facing Louis, such a rebellious prince, she needed more support from the aristocracy to achieve her goal.
In short, she couldn't do without my support.
