Hina strode forward, her steps peering further into the room as all eyes fell upon her. The room ceased all chatter as she sauntered in, stopping a few steps away from the princess who, at that moment, failed to hide her aghast expression. Knowing how prickly the crown prince was when it concerned the blossom palace, she had purposely demanded one of her maids to lead the young widow there. She was to be abandoned there for prince Kenzo to catch. A sight that would automatically ignite his anger as he could be quite cruel to those who dared to set as much as a toe in there. Yet Hina stood before her unharmed. Had her maid not done as she asked?
She glanced at the stupid maid whose face was white with sheer shock as the maid shook her head in denial, a gesture to defend herself to let the princess know that she had done exactly as she had commanded. If so, then how had Hina Kudo made it out unscathed, even to find her way all the way here?
