His lack of reaction to my confession of lying to him caught me off guard. The silent tension in the air made me feel uncomfortable and I started hoping that Prince Leonard would just shout at me instead of replying so calmly the way that he did.

“I’m very sorry for all of this. I made you come here without any good reason; I am so sorry…” I apologized as I felt tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
