Winter clicked her tongue secretly. This man wants her to answer the question.
'he is trying to get out of all responsibility'
"A petty fight among girls" she answered coolly.
"What petty fight is this?!" Ian had steams coming out of his ears and nose now.
"Actually it all started like this. This miss here bumped into me and spilled her food all over me then my friends couldn't help but interfere when I helped her with something and somehow it all escalated into this" Feiye explained.
Winter raised her brows and couldn't help but wonder. She had detected no signs of pretending from Feiye how come she sense little faints of it now.
Like now her 'explanation' just poured all the blame on her stating her as unreasonable.
"Your highness I believe this commoner has to be punished" Ian turned to Prince.
"Mm?" Prince was a distracted now. He had also sense a change in Feiye different from what she usually feels.
"Daddy she hit me so hard am in so much pain" Ify groaned and snuck a smug look at Winter.
"Daddy will get justice for you baby" Ian patiently coaxed his daughter.
"Your highness you must get justice for me and my daughter!" Ian turned back to Prince.
"What part of your body did she hurt Ian get your head straight! And who said she hurt your daughter first?! Everything was all in self defence" Jay chimed in. He had seen this chiefs bully people and get away with it, he can't let them bully this cute little sister.
"Your highness this isn't right! She only helped me" Jay faced Prince and said. The hierarchy in the palace is strong. He is the older among them yet he has to respect him because of the position the latter holds.
"No matter what my daughter deserves justice! This commoner has to be punished!"
Ian didn't out Jay in his eyes. For him this son of a concubine isn't worth anything in the palace and dozens of them could be gotten here.
"She is not a commoner!" Prince turned his angry eyes to Ian.
Ian still didn't get the look and continued with his olea for justice.
"I don't care as long as I get justice!"
Gu Dong lit a candle in his heart for this stupid colleague of his. Doesn't he know how to read mood after staying in his position for decades?!
His interested eyes turned to Winter and curved a smile deep in them. Seems like this girl is more than he thought?
But this will affect him somehow!
Feiye panicked eyes quietly gaze at Prince. A sixth sense is telling her her dream relationship is crumbling!
"This is just something among we girls please let's just solve it among us" Feiye said anxiously and turned to Winter" I forgive you can you please explain now?"
Winter furrowed her brows.
'what the heck!'
"Please just explain" Feiye looked at her with growing red eyes.
"Fei Fei!" Gu Dong low threatening voice sounded" a forced confession can't be used"
Feiye understood the look in her father's eyes and shut up. This matter will escalate more than she thinks!
"This matter can only be resolved by the prince" Ian low grumbling sounded again.
Prince didn't bother with Ian again instead turned to his daughter.
"You have three seconds to talk" he said calmly and the murderous look in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
Ify shrank back into her father's arms and buried herself there.
'he is too scary!'
Prince flicked a finger towards Ify.
A small red ball dancing with colourful lights flew and entered Ify.
Ify took to scratching in her father's arms screaming in pain.
Her body grew boils,black and orange pus came out flowing freely.
The onlookers felt disgusted and irritated. They felt a subconscious itch on their body and kept checking for any suspicious boils.
The guards felt a chill down their spine. If they had taken any action against the vixen is this what their fate will be?
Or worse?!
A pity rose in their mind for the maids that went away earlier.
"Daddy! Daddy! It hurts!" Ify ran back to her father.
Ian took a step back in fright. Those disgusting thing on her body made him too feel the suspicious itch and his body's subconscious reaction is to avoid her.
Ify looked up at her dad incredulously.
"We don't know if it's contagious" Ian gave a nervous chuckle.
"Am a monster" she burst into tears.
'thats too harsh on the beautiful girl'
Winter thought. Although she thinks that she isn't a saint to ask Prince to cure her!
This girl still poured wine on her body!
"Will you talk?" Prince asked.
Honestly he didn't need to do all this. He could have just read her mind which he did already and her thoughts made him angry.
This girl had planned to do the exact thing to Winter later. He decided to let her have a taste of her own medicine.
"Mm" Ify whimpered still scratching everywhere. The boils had started to discharge blood
"How does it feel for you to be the one disfigured?" Prince bent and whispered to Ify.
The latter showed a stunned looked before returning to her pained expression.
One thing lingered in her mind.
'the prince knows everything!'
"She is too indisposed to answer how about any of you girls?" Prince turned to trail behind Feiye.
The girls shrank and cowered behind Feiye nudging at her.
"The girls don't.."
"Stay out of it" Prince rudely interrupted. These girls also had bad intentions towards his future wife!
"You are also a victim!" He added.
Feiye heart has jumped to her throat when she heard him shout but went back down hearing his last words.
"So girls?" Prince smiled adding a touch more to his dangerous aura.
"She was the one that started it"
One of the girls quaked and pointed at Ify. Everyone had noticed one important thing.
Throughout the discussion Winter has been protected, even Feiye can't interfere! The girl pieced everything together and threw all the blame on Ify when explaining.
"Is it true?" Prince asked.
The girls nodded eagerly.
'these girls have a fast danger reaction'
Winter eyes curved into half moons.
The postponement of her escape isn't in vain.
