Suddenly, Numia burst into tears. The humiliation of being laughed at by Sienna seemed to hurt more than the beating from the princess. "How dare you laugh and mock me when this is all your fault. If you hadn't mocked that cruel princess, I would have settled a proper engagement for my son with a worthy girl."
Sienna raised an eyebrow, her lips rising in amusement. "Sometimes I wonder if you are just stupid or ignorant. You have said it yourself, that the princess is cruel. This is her famous reputation. What were you thinking by approaching her?
You were trying to marry your son off to a girl who thinks everyone in the world should bow before her and kiss her feet. Forgive me if I don't take responsibility for your matchmaking disaster."
