Lying to Whom?

The short and strange encounter with Sir Karl helped Yohana manage her emotions. They weren't so overwhelming now. She walked toward the water fountain of the palace and stopped in her tracks when she met Princess Elisa, who was already sitting at the water fountain. 

"Greetings, Your Highness," Yohana spoke up first. 

The youngest princess creased her forehead. Yohana was ready to receive biting remarks, judging from the princess' expression, but surprisingly, Princess Elisa turned around without saying anything. 

Yohana reluctantly approached her and asked, "Is there anything bothering you, Your Highness?"

"It's none of your business," responded the princess. 

Yohana took a deep breath. She considered retreating, but she thought twice and decided to remain there. It was just hours ago that she felt the big impact of having someone by her side when she needed it. She wanted to make the same impact on Princess Elisa.
