Theo's hatred for me became painfully evident in the crowd, his expression darkening as he shot me a piercing glare. "I did no such thing! That person is lying to all of us!" he shouted, refusing to admit any wrongdoing.
"I am a Prince of this kingdom. Why on earth would I hire someone to frame her?" Theo continued, his voice filled with indignation.
"Enough, Theodoric!" bellowed the King, his tone furious. His outburst silenced the entire room, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
I continued to sniffle, making my way closer to Theo and wiping away more nonexistent tears.
"Theo, I know I may not have been the best sister, and you may have acted out of spite, but I hope that someday, you'll find it in your heart to forgive me."
