Princess Elisa evaded the question with a cryptic response, "I'm not sure."
Sensing her discomfort, Yohana decided not to press further. To divert attention from the royal palace, Princess Elisa steered the conversation towards Lady Runa, greeting her as if nothing had changed.
"Lady Runa, it's been a while. How have you been? I regret not finding the time to talk with you more after the war. I heard that you were shot by the enemy for protecting the Castellan's son. Why did you do that? You're too kind."
Runa didn't know how to answer that. She ended up saying, "The son of the Castellan is my husband now."
She told Princess Elisa that during the war, she got close to Ernest, and when she thought she was dying, she realized her feelings for him. After the war, there were talks about the next leader of Reichwein because Runa was the rightful heir. But Henrie's father was the current king, which would make him eligible to be the next king as well.
