Chapter 57 War Trophy

• Samantha felt tempted to run away, but the Queen's hand prevented her when it settled on her shoulder.
• "I don't want to be here," Sam murmured so low that no one would have heard her if her mother hadn't been so close.
• "Samantha, please, your brother has an important announcement," the queen refuted in a low tone. She, too, was pained to have to marry her daughter so soon. They had barely spent a few weeks together, and she was practically sending her away. However, she preferred that to her daughter falling into Henry's hands. Everything was for her well-being, and she trusted that the man her son had chosen was the one Sam needed by her side.
