The wind blew as Raoul finished speaking. Not only Ariana, but even James immediately understood what the prince's words meant. Either directly or indirectly, Queen Melisa is proven to know something about Ariana's accident. Calling it an accident might be wrong from now on. Raoul's words were tantamount to telling them that someone had indeed targeted Ariana because the girl was close to Raoul.
"Your Highness, you mean that…."
Raoul felt he had nothing to hide from Ariana anymore. After what happened to the girl, Raoul felt that Ariana should at least remember what happened that day.
"Don't you remember? At that time, you secretly came to me to play as usual. However… that time, Her Majesty the Queen was visiting me and saying things you shouldn't have heard. You immediately ran away before I could stop you. Later, I heard the news that you fell into the pool. I'm truly sorry, Aria. I didn't know things would turn out like this…."
