"Elder Ingram. Immediately apologize to the Eostre family. Insulting a virgin maiden of a major family is not a small crime. Do not hesitate to follow my orders or your punishment will be the crippling of your cultivation. You have three seconds."
The hall fell silent… they had never seen the princess be so tyrannical… Despite the fact they acknowledged her as their interim ruler, many felt that it was only in name. But, they suddenly realized that in the 10 years the king had been gone… the little girl had grown up.
Elder Ingram trembled with rage, but didn't dare disobey. Bowing, he said his apologies. "I spoke rashly… please forgive me."
Wyn Eostre nodded, not wanting to offend the princess by holding a grudge.
