The detaining of Prince Davey sent shockwaves through the banquet hall.
Bang!!
"Lies!! This is ridiculous! Why would Davey suddenly kill someone?!”
Crown Prince Sullivan, her second brother, who had been staying at the palace to welcome guests, frowned at Illyna’s outburst.
“Why are you asking me that right now?”
“I bet you had something to do with this!”
“Illyna de Pallan!!!”
Startled by his stern tone, Illyna flinched and stepped back.
“Do you think I have that much spare time? Do you really think it’s okay to just spit out every thought that comes into your foolish head?”
