I wanted to turn around and shout at him that it wasn't my fault that the noble had hired assassins to kill us. But I kept my calm as I turned and shook my head.
"Y-You also think that it's my fault?" I asked, my voice trembling.
To be honest, what I was currently doing was a difficult task since I ignored how the queen acted in private. However, I imagined her to be somewhat naive and innocent while in private. Only showing this great and cold side to her when she appeared in public.
It was a gamble that I was taking, and I could only hope that I was right.
