The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Attending The King of Azmeria’s Banquet

"But why is their queen walking beside the king like that? Doesn’t she know any manners?"

Primrose slightly narrowed her eyes when she heard that voice and saw a group of nobles whispering among themselves. She chose to ignore them, knowing there was no use dealing with a bunch of fussy nobles.

But even as they stepped into the grand palace of Azmeria, those kinds of words kept reaching Primrose’s ears, this time through their thoughts.

Fortunately, she had asked Salem to increase the dose of her medicine, or her head would surely be throbbing right now from hearing so many people at once.

[So shameless! How can a queen walk right next to the king like that?!]

[So Duke Lazarus failed to raise his daughter properly after all!]

[Why is she dressed so beautifully? She already has a husband. She shouldn’t dress like that!]

Alright, Primrose could ignore most of those comments, but that last one almost made her lose her patience.

It wasn’t her fault that she was born with a beautiful face!

Besides, her makeup was no different from what queens usually wore when attending a formal banquet like this. She only looked more radiant because she was simply that beautiful.

Still, the biggest problem for them wasn’t her face or her dress. It was the fact that she was walking beside Edmund, the King of Noctvaris.

Sadly, they weren’t talking about this without reason.

In the Vellmoria Empire, there was a written rule: noblewomen must always walk behind their husbands at formal events. It was meant to show their obedience to the man of the family.

For ordinary nobles, that rule wasn’t very strict. But when it came to the Emperor and the Kings, it was treated like an absolute law. In fact, it was the very first rule taught to a woman the moment she married into royalty.

Primrose had even heard that a queen from one of the kingdoms within Vellmoria was once punished because she walked beside her husband when attending the Emperor’s banquet.

Her husband then punished her by giving her twenty lashes.

Every time Primrose and her friends remembered that, they would immediately shudder.

It was such a ridiculous rule! And even if it truly had to be enforced, at the very least they didn’t need to give such a harsh punishment to a woman who broke it unintentionally!

These men truly made Primrose feel sick to her stomach. Rather than being a symbol of obedience to one’s husband, it was more like a dirty trick to control their wives, which was completely stupid.

Just as her anger began to rise, a cheerful voice suddenly broke through her thoughts.

"Oh, Primrose! I’m so glad you’re here!" Bianca, the Queen of Azmeria, greeted her warmly the moment Primrose stepped into the ballroom.

Primrose was smiling, but deep inside, she felt a little confused. She didn’t understand why Bianca didn’t use her formal title at such a formal event like this.

Sure, Bianca was the host, but Primrose was still the honorary guest of this kingdom right now, so she shouldn’t be addressed so casually in front of the nobles.

However, since Primrose wasn’t the type of person who thought too much about such things, she simply shrugged it off.
