As I walked through the hallways, I felt a sense of relief slowly spreading through me. It was hard to believe that after all the schemes and manipulation, the truth had finally come to light. The lies had been exposed, and Nicholas and Elara were gone. The palace was finally free of their toxic presence.
I rounded the corner and almost bumped into Clara and Mira. They were standing together, waiting for me, their smiles wide. They looked so happy, and for a brief moment, I felt like maybe I could finally relax.
"You did it, Princess Isabella," Clara said, her voice full of admiration. "You did it. Prince Nicholas and Lady Elara are gone. They're never coming back."
Mira nodded, her smile softer but just as warm. "You're the reason this palace is free from their lies and manipulation. You made sure justice was served."
