Is It Wrong?

Pavel was now staring at me. His eyes wouldn't stop piercing me. It was apparent he was furious. 

"Liselotte."

"Father."

"You have completely disobeyed my command. Not only are you covered with cuts and bruises, but you have ruined your dress. How will I explain this to anyone who sees you like it? Do you know how ashamed I would be? There is no need for you to go out, so my question is, why? Why Liselotte? Why did you do it? What was so important that you had to jump out of a window to escape?"

I don't have any good excuses right now, but if I act stubbornly, he may buy the act.

"Father, I simply wanted to enjoy time with the Crown Prince, with him and me alone. Of course, how could I turn down an invitation from him? I was going to tell you, but I needed to find out where you were so I couldn't track you down! Even so, since I was grounded, I had to resort to other ways."

I turn my head towards Kaiserin to play along, but I'm sure he knows what I want him to do.

"Ah yes, Count Pavel! I apologize for not writing you about my planned meeting with Lady Liselotte. I'll avoid making the same mistakes in the future! Please forgive me."

Pavel's face was stuck as stone. Not one expression changed since he got here. 

"Please, your Highness, it was simply my fault for not letting my rebellious daughter under control. I can't blame you for anything, so please do not think I hold a grudge against you. Please keep in mind that my daughter is still confined to the estate due to her recent actions, so please refrain from having planned meetings with her until her punishment is over.

Kaiserin nodded and agreed. He looked back and saw me waving goodbye, but before he left, he whispered into my ear, "Perhaps next time, under the right circumstances, I'll be able to talk to you without any mishaps. Please take what I said into deep thought. I will be awaiting your answer in the meantime."

But I did consider it. It was so random, especially coming from Kaiserin. Since the story has been passed down from generation to generation, the story has changed overall. But even so, people did some deep digging back then when the corpses of Liselotte were discovered. A few things changed from when it was initially, but it never changed how Liselotte died due to her greed, and Kaiserin ultimately ended her. Is the original also wrong?
