442 – The One Needs A Discipline
Kaylee:
The slap across my face seemed to restart my entire body. For a few moments, I could not react.
After those few moments, I wondered if I should have slapped her back, but it would have been much more difficult.

When her hand landed on my cheek, I saw stars in front of my eyes. What hurt the most was that the people who were supposed to take a stand for me were now speaking against me.
“Is nobody going to take a stand for the right thing?” I asked, tearing up.
At that moment, the composed posture I had maintained started to shake. I felt humiliated in front of everyone. Some of them might have even recorded the slap. I felt like passing out.
I turned my eyes to Lord Eldon, my father–in–law, who I thought would be the first to voice his opinion against Madeline. But he remained silent, even avoiding my gaze.
Then there was Lady Abigail. Thankfully, she looked tense and angry.
“Wait a minute, let’s not forget that Madeline has a history of causing trouble. Even though I agree that right now Kaylee was the one who threw the drink at her, I just want to mention one thing. What did Madeline say that prompted her to take that step?” Lady Abigail spoke up for me,
I could tell everyone was shocked because she wanted the cure as much as the others did. But when it came to standing up for the right reasons, I could only expect a woman to do that.
As a woman, she knew that no woman should be disrespected, and I appreciated that in the moment. 1
“And I’m not justifying anything, and I’m not calling anyone out. I’m just speaking the truth. Let’s say we promised you respect and a safe place, but we did not promise that you would be allowed to disrespect our lunas,” Lady Abigail told Madeline, who did not look like she cared anymore. She had a smug look on her face as if she had won the world.
“You’re right,” Madeline replied. “Somebody needs to tell you what was happening before the drink was spilled. Yes, I made a comment in response to the remarks Kaylee had been making about me, which I hope the people around here can confirm p>

Madeline continued speaking in her casual, calm voice. I hated that woman with every last breath.
“It is true. I was there when Luna Kaylee had been throwing insults at Luna Madeline nonstop,” one of the women said, and I gave her a harsh glare.
“It’s just Madeline, not Luna. Don’t throw around titles like that,” I hissed at her. In return, she wrinkled her nose at me. It was disgusting.
This was exactly why I wanted them to take the right step and punish Madeline for hitting me, because now others thought it was fine to belittle their Luna.
“Actually, she was making quite ridiculous comments about Madeline’s character. It was very humble of Madeline to only respond with a comment instead of punching her in the face. If it were my wife and somebody was doing that to her, I would expect my wife to punch her in the face. But Luna Kaylee is so superior to everyone that she decided to be nasty and throw the drink at the same time,” the young man who had arrived with his baby and his wife said, defending Madeline. 1

I clenched my jaw with every word he spoke. I was in disbelief. The way they were all ganging up on me, the way they were all siding with her, was because they wanted a cure.
“Well then, I would like to leave,” I finally hissed because I realized they did not understand how ridiculous this
sounded.
“And I would like to leave too p>
The moment Madeline added that, everyone gasped. They did not react the same way when I decided to leave. I rolled my eyes and continued to walk away.
Then someone from the crowd yelled, “No, that is ridiculous. Why should she walk away like that? Isn’t she supposed to apologize to Madeline and make her stay p>
My steps halted, and I snapped my head back, trying to see who had the nerve to suggest that a Luna should apologize to a pathetic rogue like Madeline. Nobody spoke up, and my eyes scanned the crowd.
“I had come here after thinking a lot about my dignity and my self–respect, but it seemed like this would continue to happen. I could not live like this. I could not work like this. I’m really sorry. I’m leaving,” Madeline continued
as she turned around, grabbed her purse, pulled it over her shoulder, and started to walk away.
It did not look good. I could tell everyone was angry with me because they were all glaring at me.
I swallowed hard and decided to slip away because it seemed like things were getting worse. Madeline had decided to act overly sensitive to draw attention to the idea that I was the problem.
“No, wait. Please. Your Highness, do something. You were brought here to represent us, to convince Madam Madeline to help us, not to bring in your daughter–in–law to stir drama. How is that fair to us?” one person cried from the crowd.
I turned and tried to slip away again, but sadly, I was not fast enough.
“Wait a minute, Luna Kaylee, don’t step away yet,” Lord William called out to me, and I had to stop in my tracks. I would be lying if I said I was not scared of what was about to happen.
As I turned around, I saw everyone’s eyes narrowed at me, looking extremely displeased. 1
