Chapter 0254

Nathan led Nicholas and me into a sitting room where the King sat upon a chair. All other chairs had

been pushed to the back of the room. It was clear he meant for the rest of us to stand.

As we entered, the King narrowed his eyes in Nicholas’s direction. Nicholas lifted his chin.

“Nathan, I believe I was clear in my orders that Piper arrive alone,” the King said.

Nathan bowed his head. “My apologies, Your Majesty.”

“It’s my fault,” Nicholas said. “I refused to allow Piper to face you on her own.”

The King and Nicholas stared at each other for a moment, as if in silent conversation. Then the King

I spoke at once, “I deeply apologize –”

“Apologize?” the King scoffed, cutting me off. “You honestly believe that a mere apology will fix all that you’ve done? You called one of our benefactors tonight a ‘fat cow. And I won’t dare repeat the things you

I lowered my chin down to my chest. “I have no excuses, Your Majesty. I surrender myself to your

punishment.”

“No, she doesn’t,” Nicholas snapped. He stepped forward and half in front of me, shielding me from

some of the King’s glare.

“Nicholas, you are treading on thin ice,” the King said through his teeth.

“I will not allow punishment to fall on her when she has done nothing to deserve it.”

“You don’t believe her actions are worthy of punishment?”

“No.”

The King was flabbergasted. “Why ever not?”

“Nicholas, please,” I whispered. Was he planning on revealing the truth about Jane? He couldn’t do that!

Nicholas hesitated.

“Answer me, Nicholas. Explain to me why she does not deserve punishment.”

“She just doesn’t,” he said, haltingly, like each word pained him.

“Your Majesty, if I may.” I sidestepped around Nicholas. “If I may ask, Sir, please allow me a list of everyone who I offended so that I may personally apologize through letters.”
