Chapter 359
*******
I had stayed speechless, knowing that... was I to defend ourselves with our own voice, their contempt would also make fun of my low volume and it’s trembling... since I shared the desperate grief the short comment from the duchess instilled in Marianne.
Theressa’s underhanded disses... Anne could manage them, probably, since before I came here, Theressa would speak worse than this. And so, as I also tried not to let my fury exploit, we could endure Theressa... but the Duchess’s comments... they somehow had more effect on us.
Inwardly, I had decided to swallow the rage so later I could take revenge... but then, the Crown Prince... Zeleskiaz’s words defended us better than I would...
After that, the desperation in Theressa’s eyes... shocked me... yet only for a second. Because I listened as I was taken away by the Prince how with a whisper, she reproached her mother because she was supposed to help her.
"....."
Even though, disappointment couldn’t get to settle in my mood strongly... because his words came out with difficulty to tell me lovely things... but accompanied again by those god d*mn apologies he should stop giving for better good.
"My lady, please... do forgive me if I overstepped. Yet this... I could not tolerate."
"..."
I had lowered my head, feeling complex because I was moved by his protection, his fury and the apparent worry for us... and yet, I also was filled with indignation... for he had to defend us because we still can’t talk for ourselves... and I’m fed up with his extremely careful attitude.
"....."
We stood silent, him probably nervous that I wasn’t looking at him. But I needed to breathe in and calm down... Only so the words I was to write would express all of my conflicts properly for him to understand.
