"Why don't you forgive him?" A familiar voice asked.
Zahra turned around to see Layla walking towards her, with Cassius and Irys lifting their gazes to greet her.
"Princess Layla!" Cassius exclaimed, surprised by her presence.
The two siblings greeted Layla, and Zahra inquired, "What brings you here?"
"I heard from the servants that my cousins came, so I wanted to visit them. But it seems I'm disturbing your apology," Layla chuckled, sensing the tension.
Cassius hesitated, not wanting it to seem as if he left Layla's side to join Zahra's. Before he could say more, Layla raised her hand, halting him.
