 * Spoilers Ahead*

Okay, this first bit is so as to not spoil people who don't want to be spoiled if they haven't already been spoiled. I will say that both of today's new chapters (this and Veil of Secrets) had something going on that was supposed to be a big reveal. Veil of Secrets, well, not so much. This one, however was a surprise, one I had only a few moments to contemplate before it was actually revealed and I don't know if that's because of the choice I made or if all of the options for that choice have clues in them.

On to the spoiling.

For simplicity, my MC is Taren and she just married Maxwell.

Taren and Maxwell talked early in the chapter about wanting to get some time alone during or after the reception. I assumed this was going to be a diamond choice. Didn't care, because I don't buy those diamond choices unless there is more to them than making out. Kind of tucked that knowledge away and it was mentioned a time or two later, so when Gladys came to get Taren and told her someone was waiting for some time with her (or was it alone time, I really don't recall the exact wording), I assumed what I was supposed to assume and clicked the choice to thank her. The other options were. . . odd. But maybe that's just me.

Except her response to Taren thanking her gave me pause. Again, I forget the exact wording, but she basically sounded way to emotional about the fact that I was thanking her, giving me the idea that 1) she was probably extremely underappreciated by the last duchess for whom she appears to have been amazing with and 2) she was not taking me to Maxwell. Instead she was taking me to Anton.

Turns out I was. . . wrong? Okay, nothing about 1, so probably right there, but I will admit, I was extremely surprised when we got to our destination and there was Maxwell as originally expected especially given that she even apologized to me (if I am remembering this correctly). Except once more the options were off. I picked one, I forget which, and Maxwell asked something along the lines of, "Who are those people behind you?"

Right after that everything went black. I forget if I was hit over the head or something else, but basically it's fairly likely that she turned you (and probably your new spouse, though maybe they are just knocked out) over to Anton. My guess is that she was an easy mark for manipulation similar to Penelope. . . which was another blindside, something I almost never get in Choices. . . and even if she regrets it, she may be in too deep to get out.
