To betray Radulf

The next morning, Nina went to the palace as per the order. Upon arriving there, she was escorted to the Queen's manor.

"Greetings to Your Majesty," Nina said, bowing to the Luna Queen.

"You may raise your head," Loretta said while looking into the jewelry boxes. "Why did you tell Radulf I was the one who gave you the drug?" she asked, lifting the diamond-emerald necklace. Her eyes sparkled from the glow of those diamonds as she awaited Nina's response.

"Your Majesty, for your sake I decided to give that drug to Melissa. Moreover, I didn't wish to lie to Radulf," Nina asserted, not fearing her because she knew Loretta would not make a foolish decision to harm or punish her. Her father might not be caring towards her, but when it came to protect her from any harm, he wouldn't hesitate to attack on them.
