"That is a lie," princess Ema was scared, she did not know that she will expose herself like this.
"You know very well I am telling the truth, when Ellen fell into the water and almost drowned no one asked you any questions. Everyone believes it was an accident, even when I had my doubt I kept it to myself. So tell me why else will you think I will push you off the stairs to average Ellen unless your conscience was fighting you?" Richard asked.
He believes that princess Ema was not just trying to accuse him falsely. If that was the case she would not have been so confident when she answered the king's question. So this only meant one thing to him, she had deliberately made a move to hurt Ellen.
"That is not true, stop accusing me falsely," princess Ema knew she could never accept attempting to murder her sister, if the king finds out about her motifs she might be exiled from the kingdom.
