Despite his right-hand man's action, Crown Prince Owine's attention was completely focused on Lady Vanora to even intervene or say something. With both his hands still firmly holding Vanora in both of her upper arms, his gaze trailed the bruises on her arms and also the one on her face.
When he first heard about the abuse a few days ago, he never thought that it could get this serious!
Slowly, that same rage from earlier returned and he finally shifted his attention to the Countess and her daughter. "What do you have to say for yourself, Countess Asral?" His low yet cold voice proved how much he suppressed his anger and this did not help the already nervous Countess at all!
As Countess Asral struggled to come up with a response, Owine was slowly losing his patience!
"Answer me!"
"Your Highness."
