"Greetings, Your Majesty"
Ria gave a bow to the Empress right after she stepped into the throne room. There was a court along with Tormentor Amir who was beside her. The situation was stiff. Just as she expected. "Fifth Princess Asteria Sage, Tormentor Amir claimed that you were the one that caused the robbery and other issues"
Instead of going around, the Empress got straight to the point which amused the young woman. Her eyes shifted, glancing to the side where the Crown Prince was standing at. He peered back at her but with a pair of satisfied eyes and proud smile tugged at his lips. It quieted down Asteria wholly. He was aware.
He knew the Tormentor Amir would drag her out of the shell in front of the court. But he did not cease Amir from exposing her. It was obvious how Rhys Lawson was plotting to hit two birds with one stone. Right. He was aiming to grasp her while kick Amir out at the same time. Such a wicked and witty plot.
