Valeraine's POV
"You can not accuse someone without performing a proper trial, Prince Harioth. You should calm down." The Imperial Noble Consort Mia said. She walked past him and stood in front of me, Prince Harioth stood up.
"Someone help Lady Valeraine," she said. Her ladies-in waiting to assist me to stand up.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"What is this improper behaviour from all of you?" Consort Mia started facing Prince Harioth.
"Leave my son alone." Empress Dowager said. "It is me who dragged that insolent creature here to seduce the Grand Duke of Sollaine, and when he declined her malicious desire, she ordered the guards to throw him in the dungeon. Isn't there enough reason to be like this?"
What? Where did they get that kind of idea?
I'm about to go forward and explain myself but Consort Mia said. "Stay behind me."
