章節 482: Chapter 182- Addie – Thorn Crest Part 4 (VOLUME 2)

**ADDIE'S POV**

When I finally fell silent, after the events of the Winter Festival were out in the open, it was actually Lord Collie that broke the stunned silence of all the spectators that had watched me speak. His tone was soft and almost repentant as he spoke. It was clear to see that he was starting to regret having listened to a single word that his cousin had told him.

"Princess Addison, please allow me to apologize to you. I should have known that the fanciful stories that Shepherd came here with were not true. However, I never thought that he would so openly turn against the crown. He has always been very loyal to the kingdom. And, therefore, I almost immediately accepted his words as fact."
