Kapitel 617: Turn Of Events

Oriana, maintaining her composure, spoke up. "Lady Grace recounted these stories in such a way that implied a deeper, inappropriate relationship with the Crown Prince, insinuating that she had a special claim to his affections.

"This, despite the fact that she knew very well he is now my husband. Her words were intended to undermine my position and dignity as Crown Princess. As a wife, what do you expect me to do when a woman slandering him right in front of me. I think I was too lenient to simply strangle her."

The court fell silent as Oriana's words hung in the air. Grace's smug expressions faded, replaced by a look of realization and fear. Luis was surprised at the turn of event as well and raced his brain to get his daughter out of it.

Oriana turned to the King, "Your Majesty, I was simply stopping Lady Grace from spreading nonsense about my husband, but I admit that my way of stopping her was a bit aggressive."
