— I wish I knew... What's going on here?
The Prince of the North quickly withdrew his hand, realizing how it might look from the outside. He cast a guilty glance at the maid, who turned pale to the tips of her ears in confusion.
— Your Grace, wait! It's not what you think! — Jeremy exclaimed, rising from his seat. — I was just helping Runny with her hair, it got caught on…
The guy tried to explain himself, but the words stuck in his throat. The maid Runny, deathly scared, lowered her head, not knowing what to say. Meanwhile, Selina continued without waiting for any further explanation:
— I didn't think the butler could be right about anything, but... It looks like his words weren't as meaningless as I thought.
The Princess of the North chuckled coldly.
