What Commander Eloria said reminded Crown Prince Owine of the information he received from one of his men almost a week ago. When the one who investigated Lady Vanora and the Asral family came to report the result to him, he was told about the abuse and mistreatment.
Nevertheless, he was yet to do anything. It still bothered him every now and then but... he wanted to be cautious with his approach. After all, there was no way for him to tolerate such a thing happening in a noble family of his kingdom.
There was also one thing that held the Crown Prince back. From his last encounter with Vanora Asral, he could feel her desire to hide whatever secret she was hiding. This could even be considered as the main reason for his lack of action until now, but...
The possible involvement of the Asrals in that assassination attack? It had never crossed his mind before!
