Chapter 30: Why did you cry?

"Detective Juli, what was your reasoning for slamming the door?", Flavia inquired.

Juli wanted to act like a real cop. She was embarrassed at her act as well, but she avoided it by saying, "I'm the detective here. I'm the one who will ask questions. You only have to answer me."

"Don't you get tired of always playing these childish games?", Flavia questioned.

"Don't you get tired of always playing these adult games?", Juli questioned back pointing at the documents.

"Tell me what you want to ask?", Flavia said by admitting her defeat.

"Ok, Miss Flavia. Tell me. Is it true that you never had planned to marry Lucius?", Juli began her inquiry.

"Yes."

"Then why did you agree to get engaged despite your parents' refusal?", Juli asked the second question.

"Greatness often comes at a small price.", Flavia casually responded.

"So, your engagement was the price. You had decided to pay for your goal to become Queen.", Juli asked.
