The slap stinged a lot but this was the reaction Thalia wanted to get from Eve. She deliberately screamed aloud, capturing everyone's attention. And to make the scene more dramatic and convincing, she even made herself fall to the ground.
Thalia held her cheeks, her eyes tearing up. The image being portrayed to the crowd was a beautiful princess being bullied by a wicked ugly princess.
"Gosh! Have you all seen that? Princess Thalia has been slapped by Princess Eve."
"Princess Eve is getting violent again. Earlier she attacked the royal guard. And now, she is bullying Princess Thalia!"
"Is she trying to stir a conflict between the two kingdoms? How could she harm Princess Thalia in front of the Eldara's royal guards?!"
"She is creating more trouble for the kingdom! Is she trying to offend the Crown Prince and the nobles of Kingdom Eldara? How could she lay a hand on Princess Thalia!"
