"Lazarus, I apologize on Ronan's behalf. So let me treat your wound," Arielle said, and Lazarus accepted with a nod of his head.
Usually, Aimee would offer herself to help the princess, like when Arielle made her own tea, brought her books, or put on her clothes, but this time she hesitated.
She certainly wanted to help Arielle, but she also didn't want to be near Lazarus. Aimee didn't know what happened. It seemed Ronan hit Lazarus in the face from what the princess just said.
"What did you do to get beaten like that?" Aimee asked curiously.
Arielle stopped cleaning Lazarus' face, then turned to Aimee with a faint smile.
"Aimee ... it's not the time for that," said Arielle, feeling Aimee's tone was too cynical. It would only hurt Lazarus' feelings again.
Aimee was embarrassed, and she apologized right away. Lazarus just kept silent, pretending not to hear Aimee's question.
