"How did the King find out that we had gone to the market?" Claudia asked Adeline.
"I had gone to take his permission to visit the market. And he found out after he talked with me." Adeline simply revealed the truth. And she thought to herself that they had indeed snuck out of the Palace the last time.
Nefriti sneered and snapped at Adeline all of a sudden, "How could you? I thought you were going to keep that a secret!"
Adeline scoffed and instantly replied in a stern voice, "Why are you shouting at me when you were the one to deceive me saying that you had already taken permission from the King? Had you been truthful to me, I would have asked the permission myself."
"And besides, I was the one who convinced our father not to punish us. So, don't accuse me of anything." Adeline narrowed her gaze at Nefriti at that sudden outburst.
