Chapter 13
Katharina’s mind was nothing but chaotic noise.
After Prince Arnold openly threatened Prince Ludwig and subsequently stormed out, the cluster of nobles had naturally dissolved, leaving her and Princess Klara on the balcony. The princess promptly excused herself and left the hall, her furious expression carving a wide path through the guests.
When Katharina returned to the ballroom, she found herself faced with an ever-growing onslaught of curious aristocrats.
“Lady Katharina, did you see what happened?”
“Lady Katharina, why was Prince Arnold so angry?”
“Lady Katharina, where did Princess Klara go?”
“Lady Katharina, what about–”
“Lady Katharina–”
She woodenly replied to some of them, and then tried to find a chair to give her shaky legs some reprieve.
