The peacemaker

It was almost late in the evening, and yet there wasn't much progress with anything. 

Harvey stood outside Princess Amber's chamber without making any effort to go in. 

He had wronged her, and he knew it was going to take a great deal for her to forgive him. 

He hated to admit that there was nothing he could have done at that moment when their eyes locked. Amber wasn't Alicia. Although Amber could get really impulsive sometimes, she had never done something that impulsive, such as killing someone. When he first heard about what happened in the assembly room, he suspected that wasn't Alicia in action. He also didn't think it was Amber. 

After seeing how she was almost stabbing Harold, he knew for a fact that it was not Alicia because she would never do that. And when she looked at him, he confirmed it was Amber even before she asked the question about why he was there.
