My hand that is holding Brother Pascal's arm trembles when I hear Ruler Laird's question.
I slowly look at Ruler Laird. What should I do now? I couldn't deny Brother Pascal's words because he would look bad if I did that. After all, lying to someone influential is something unforgivable. But if I won't deny Brother Pascal's words, Prince Fraser will be in a lot of trouble.
I heave a sigh. I'll probably neither deny nor admit anything. So, I won't be putting anyone in trouble.
"Godfather, I am not defending his highness. I just don't want to make a big issue about what happened. So, please don't misunderstand his highness or Brother Pascal.
I heard Brother Pascal scoff. "He insulted you, Csille. How can you not make a big issue about it? He didn't even bother apologizing to us even after you runaway last night."
I was about to say something, but someone interrupted me. "I am not insulting her. I am just suggesting a solution."
