Princess Eleanor did not reply to Lady Gisella's words. She felt it was not necessary at this point. Who knows how things will turn out in the future.
Princess Eleanor has her own doubts regarding Lady Gisella. How could the lady that did not see eye to eye with her yesterday turn so lovely today? Princess Eleanor wanted information but she also wanted to guard herself.
"The culprit?" Princess Eleanor said in a small tone, "At this point, I think keeping the people safe was the priority. Even though Lady had said that the Roulux Empire was calling everyone because of the prophecy, but I think we all can agree that if anyone of the Kingdom refused to send their Princess, they were as good as dead. Not only the Princess who disobeyed the Empire's order but the people too."
"It was never an order," Lady Gisella said subconsciously but her voice turned low. The confidence in her tone was lost as she looked blank.
