"I would be glad not to punish anyone here who treats my children that way. I won't hesitate to discipline even the palace knights if they end up hurting the heir of the Briston."
The princess then turned to the knight and hissed a command to the knights and let Cxenon go.
Cxenon massaged his aching shoulder where the knights held him. When he walked passed by the princess, he stared at her coldly, sizing her up for even raising her voice of command at the Briston's mansion.
The princess stood her ground and ignored Cxenon completely as her eyes were intent to the duke who had his back against their direction.
