Chapter 423: A Letter To The Princess

"Thank God, you’re finally here," Ivy exhaled in relief as she opened the door to see Violet. She stepped aside, only to reveal Griffin standing at the corner with his usual sweet smile.

"Hello?" Griffin greeted, waving politely.

"Oh. Hello." Ivy smiled back, slightly thrown off. She had expected Violet to come alone, but clearly, that wasn’t the case anymore.

Now that Violet was mated, she and Griffin went practically everywhere together like twins joined at the hip.

"Are we not welcomed?" Violet asked when Ivy lingered at the doorway, still staring.

"Oh, sure," Ivy said quickly, stepping aside to let them in.

Violet walked in with Griffin, their hands intertwined. She glanced around and wasn’t surprised why Ivy had chosen not to leave. The new room was much more spacious than their old one in the East house. The walls were painted in a cool pastel tone, soft and soothing. But what truly caught Violet’s attention was the sight of four beds. Not three.

Her steps slowed at once.

Since she now cohabitated with Griffin, the bed count should have dropped, not risen.

Almost immediately, a pang of jealousy hit her. Of course, they had gotten a new roommate.

Violet wasn’t against her girls making friends, but the thought of someone else joining their inner circle didn’t sit right with her. Violet didn’t want to share them. Not with anyone.

Ivy caught her staring and explained, "We insisted on keeping your own bed just in case you have a fight with him and need a space to crash. You’d always have your place."She added, "No offense, Griffin."

"No offense taken." Griffin replied.

Violet was so touched, she was so speechless.

"Or," Daisy said, stepping out of the restroom, "maybe whenever she just wants to sleep over. Everything doesn’t have to be dramatic, Ivy."

She came to a stop and breathed. "Hello, Griffin. And hello to you too, Violet. You finally showed up. I was beginning to think you were going to come at midnight and bother me like some witch."

Griffin waved with his usual polite smile while Violet rolled her eyes. Daisy’s sarcastic streak always came out when she was annoyed.

"Sorry about that," Violet said, her voice unusually soft as she looked down and began tracing invisible circles with her toe. "I got sidetracked."

Ivy and Daisy stared at her, then at each other and ended up shuddering. Who was this bashful creature pretending to be Violet? The mate bond was terrifying.

Finally, Violet looked up and noticed the third bed. Her brow furrowed. "Where’s Lila?"

Daisy opened her mouth to answer but paused when she caught Griffin’s presence. Her eyes flicked to Violet, a silent question passing between them.

"Don’t worry," Violet said quickly. "He knows everything."

"What?!" Daisy and Ivy cried out in unison.

"You told him?" Ivy accused her.

Violet shrugged. "He already knew half of it before we were mated. Now that we are, it’s only right he knows the truth. Keeping secrets from your mate is basically asking for a doomed relationship. Besides," she looked at him with practically love in her eyes. "Griffin would put his life on the line for me."

"Oh, I absolutely would," Griffin promised, locking eyes with her. They just stood there, staring at each other for what felt like an entire minute, lost in their own world.

Ivy and Daisy exchanged a look and groaned. This was so cringey. Vomit-inducingly cringey. It would take them an eternity to get used to this new reality.

"Moving on!" Daisy shouted, deliberately cutting in and it worked.
