''I have looked into it. I did not think you would dare to bring it up again but since you did, tell me…. Is it false that you slapped Moira?"
Lareina frowned. All that trust he had shown in her the night before was nowhere to be seen in those eyes that inspected her. Regardless, since she had brought t up, she was not going to give up in the middle of it, "I…''
''Just a yes or no,'' he cut her off.
"Yes,'' she looked straight into his eyes. She could tell that he had ensured that nobody would be able to hear them.
''Twice, you have reached my doorstep and both times, you have been there in dissatisfaction and reacted in anger. Is that a lie?"
''Your Highness…''
"Yes or no.''
Disappointment weighed heavy on her chest. She did not dare to admit it but a part of her had felt hopeful and even relieved when he said that he trusted her yesterday. But maybe she should not have gotten ahead of herself.
