Oh, damn it. I slapped a King.
It's a grave crime. What will happen to me now? Will they behead me after a process? Or can I survive with my hand cut off?
There weren't any witnesses outside of my family, so we might agree on a version to lighten the sentence.
I have the duty to survive as Crown Princess of Mages. I need to live if I want to help them in the future.
It's one of the first things mother taught me: dying out of bravery is a good deed only if someone else is saved by it. If not, it's just stupidity.
Father would sometimes say I don't need to die to save anyone either.
Yet, when I found out I was lied to for a month, I couldn't contain my rage.
Even if it's Ignis, the King is known for his bloody deeds and merciless nature. Will he close an eye if I apologise and promise not to do it ever again?
Oh, what if he decides to punish me without a process? It wouldn't be the first time, according to the rumours.
And also, what is his real name? Ignatius or Aurelius?
