"No, father," Elizabeth declared, her voice tinged with determination, "if I remain at home, I won't be able to keep my promise. You once said that as a royal family, we must fulfill our commitments. However, if a promise harms others, it can be canceled. But the promise I made with Clark doesn't bring harm; it benefits those in need of financial assistance." As the king's daughter, Elizabeth had delved into the intricacies of kingdom laws since her early years.
Edward sighed, a mixture of resignation and concern etched on his face. "Very well, if that is your final decision, I will accept it. But I insist that Uncle Vesta accompanies you to the academy," he replied with a serious tone. The protective father within him wanted to ensure his daughter's safety during her journey.
"Thank you, father!" Elizabeth's gratitude overflowed as she wrapped her arms around her father in an affectionate embrace, nuzzling her cheek against his chest and humming with sheer joy.
