Tranquil

As the minutes ticked by, Camilla slowly began to calm down. She was exhausted, emotionally drained, but she felt a sense of clarity that she hadn't felt before.

She looked up at Prince Thane, her eyes searching his face. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Prince Thane's expression was somber. "I was trying to protect you," he said. "I didn't want you to get hurt."

Camilla's eyes narrowed. "You should have told me," she said. "I had a right to know."

Prince Thane nodded, his eyes filled with regret. "You're right," he said. "I'm sorry. I should have been honest with you from the beginning."

Camilla took a deep breath, feeling a sense of resolve wash over her. "We need to find out who did this," she said. "We need to bring them to justice."

Prince Thane's expression turned determined. "I'm with you," he said. "We'll find out who did this, and we'll make them pay."
