"Your Highness!!" Lady Elara yelled, and ran after her as the guard dragged her to the courtyard. She can take them down but it will be a disrespect to Empress Aethera and she can get a hard punishment for that.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy," Lady Elara continued to plead.
Prince Louis and Prince Edward were passing by at that moment.
"What is going on here?" Prince Edward asked as he watched the scene before his eyes.
"I will go and call Crown Prince Lyrien, you should handle the matter," he said before he ran away.
Prince Edward took a deep breath and stepped forward just as the guard was about to hit her, he stepped in front of her and took the bite.
"Your Majesty, I will never let her get punished, please reconsider!!" He yelled.
Empress Aethera stood up immediately. "How dare you!" She yelled furiously.
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty," he kneeled down before her with a bow.
