Unexpected Help (2)

"You look worse than I thought you would." Michelle said with a smile, "Good thing I am here, wouldn't you agree? Oh, right. I forgot you can't speak."

Ashton was shocked to see the princess of Lycania standing in front of him again. He didn't know why she was there, but whatever it was, it couldn't be good. After all, their last meeting had ended up with concealed hostility from both of them. 

'Could she be the one behind all this?' Ashton's mind was in overdrive.

Even if someone were to confront her, her father could have easily either silences the opposition or make a false culprit take all the blame for her wrongdoings.
