"S-S–SE–SELENE?!!!"
Amelia's voice, booming with unexpected intensity, reverberated through the room following Selene's bombshell revelation.
The air thickened with tension after Amelia's declaration, sparking a flurry of reactions ranging from disbelief to outright shock.
"Surely, you jest!"
"It must be some sort of prank!"
"But... he's a known criminal!"
"Well, he does have a certain charm..."
"Regardless! He hails from a less esteemed realm!"
"And Amelia, she's a Princess of Sancta Vedelia!"
"There is no freaking way!!"
Amidst the cacophony, Amelia's complexion shifted from flushed embarrassment to a ghostly pallor as the realization of her parents' likely overhearing dawned upon her.
Cautiously, she lifted her gaze to meet her father's furious glare, while her mother attempted to diffuse the escalating tension.
