Chapter 248: The Admonishment Of A Father
Laura, who had just arrived in the nick of time, exclaimed at the guards.
The princess came to a sudden stop, almost stumbling to the ground. Noticing twigs and leaves stuck in Laura’s hair from her hasty journey through the bushes, the governess called to her with concern.
"Oh, Your Highness Princess Laura, are you all right?" the governess inquired, worried about the princess’ well-being.
"I’m all right," Laura replied, catching her breath as she regained composure.
"Your Highness? You... you’re both princesses?" Armel exclaimed, surprised.
Observing the girls’ exquisite attire, he couldn’t help but assume they came from noble backgrounds. Their sophisticated attire conveyed a certain elegance.
However, he hadn’t anticipated them to be the Princesses of Cassian since they hadn’t introduced themselves as such, nor had they hinted at their royal lineage.
"That’s right! Now you’re surely going to be hanged for making a malicious attempt on her!" one of the guards shouted, his accusation filled with anger.
"No, I didn’t! Please let me explain!" Armel pleaded urgently, hoping to have a chance to present his side of the story.
"Please, let him go," Laura demanded the guards to release Armel.
They paused, momentarily taken aback by the princess’s command. They exchanged hesitant glances before one of them reluctantly replied, "But he’s dangerous, Your Highness. He tried to kidnap and hurt Her Highness Princess Lilith! We saw it!"
