　　"I didn't do it, aunty," I cried, and she held me close.

　　"I know little one. I know. Some people have started working against you, Desiree, and I know why?" she said and looked at me angrily.

　　"Why did you lie to me that you were not sleeping with Prince Adam?" she asked, and my eyes opened wide from surprise.

　　"I am not. I swear," I argued, and Aunt Margret shook her head.
