"Though the question is do you trust me, Princess?" Melissa asked for assurance, but Emelia stayed silent and answered a bit later on, "I only hear the truth from the actual person," Emelia said, which Melissa understood.
As a person who writes to inform the people, the most reliable sources are credible sources from the actual person. Having to hear second-hand information can lead to some misinformation. Which ideally is not counted as a reliable source.
"It's alright. At least you get to hear two sides before asking the actual person, right?" Melissa lowered the teacup and places it back on the table. "What do you know of the story?" Melissa asked before beginning.
"I've heard that he killed his parents while they were asleep. They said he wanted to hurry up and become the emperor," Melissa shook her head in disappointment. Just like she had thought the story is being altered again.
