[HIS MAJESTY must have lost his mind.]
Zoe was actually feeling sorry towards Emperor Rino because Runa chose to wear the purple gown that she chose for the young princess over the lavish red gown that the emperor had sent for her.
However, after this stupid move that His Majesty had pulled off, she decided not to apologize to the emperor anymore.
[Is he trying to let everyone know that Runa is his daughter?!]
Aside from the fact that it was currently hard to prove that Runa was the true Crown Princess, it wasn't also wise of the emperor to show that he favored his younger brother's daughter because it didn't make sense.
[I mean, I know that everyone in the empire knows that His Majesty is fond of Isaak. But I'm sure some people will find it odd, and it might lead to them investigating who Runa really is. And I'm pretty sure Empress Veronica is already doing that.]
