It was past noon, and Princess Ievna was alone in her room. After speaking with the Crown Prince this morning, she did not dare to leave her room.
Crown Prince Randver managed to figure out her secret, and Princess Ievna knew that the man now had the upper hand right now. The blonde didn't say he would kill her after learning her secret, but that man might force her to do something she didn't want to keep her secret safe.
["If you still want to live, then you must listen to my orders."]
That was what the Crown Prince said before the man left Prince Reigen's palace. He had indeed let her stay in the palace instead of forcing her to move into his, and Princess Ievna felt lucky for that.
And she also knew that the blonde man hadn't locked the bedroom door, so she could be sure that the man did not treat her as a prisoner for the time being.
