Chapter 135: An Urgent Revelation (II)
An indescribable fury ignited within him as Alex’s words reached Kyren’s ears.
"She did what? How dare she!" the grand duke erupted, his voice filled with righteous anger. "I will demolish that boutique this instant! They will pay for insulting my wife!" he thundered, rising from his seat.
Sensing the intensity of his emotions, Anna swiftly reached out and held his arm, halting his impulsive reaction.
"I knew you would react like this! That’s precisely why I didn’t want to tell you in the first place!" Anna interjected, her voice laden with exasperation.
"They dared to look down upon you! By doing so, they insulted me as well!" Kyren retorted fiercely, his fury unabated.
Remaining composed, Alex intervened, providing a crucial piece of information. "Your Highness, at the time of the incident, the boutique worker was unaware of the lady’s true identity because she was dressed in a commoner’s outfit," he explained, shedding light on a pivotal detail.
The queen, surprised by this revelation, expressed her disbelief.
"She wore a commoner’s outfit?" she inquired, her voice filled with astonishment.
Understanding the need for clarification, Drystan stepped forward to shed light on the matter. "The lady had never worn a fancy dress since she was brought to the camp. Throughout our time there, she chose to dress in more modest attire," he explained, emphasising the simplicity of Anna’s wardrobe during their stay.
"It was only upon our arrival at the mansion that she changed into a more elegant dress, befitting her newfound status."
"Before you accuse me of not providing her with proper outfits, let it be known that I insisted on purchasing fine dresses for her while we were at the camp. However, she adamantly refused," Kyren clarified to the queen with a sincere expression.
