The citizens gasped in shock. Everyone knew that the King of Umbra was against the ceremony, but they didn't expect that he would blatantly embarrass the fair maiden in front of the crowd.
Helena's knees buckled and she broke down on the stage. Today, she must act to her utmost to get everyone's attention so her accomplices could execute their tasks. With such a pleasing appearance, the crowd's heart felt sorry for her.
One of the elders scowled and spoke in his gruff voice. "With all due respect, Your Majesty, if you claim that she is fake, then why did you come to this event?"
"Two reasons," Adis started. "One, my Queen's duty as a spring maiden is to witness this nonsense, therefore, I have to accompany her. Two, I want to witness how you, stupid weaklings, will embarrass yourselves." He nonchalantly admitted.
Haru just squirmed in her seat, totally baffled at the sudden turn of event.
