Kapitel 115: The Calm Before The Storm- A Day To Rue

Meanwhile, the palace was flooded with horrific talks about the lake incident. The shocking news about Hina's misstep and how the Grand Duke, a true knight in shining armour, had saved her. However, Hina's unfortunate accident had not stopped the party from continuing into the late evening as the rest of the guests stayed till the end.

While the rest of the day went on joy-filled, there was a stifling tension between Aiden and Naomi. While most faces held a similar look of relief, Aiden spotted the princess, uneasiness spelt across her face as she watched Hina come through after being pulled out of the lake. He wasn't one to deem another guilty without evidence but Naomi had looked as guilty as a thief being caught in the act and he more than just suspected her. He was sure Hina's fall was her doing.

Hidden behind the column, Naomi shivered like a rabbit in front of a wolf but she tried to hide her fear. Mask her guilt.
