I said in defence. He scoffed incredulously, looking at me like I had just told him the biggest lie of the year. I just didn’t get why people find it so hard to believe I’m innocent.

Again she tripped and fall as she lied down crying.

"It happened too fast… I didn't get anything." After my reply, I saw the disappointment in his eyes. "As a lawyer's girlfriend, how can you not have any basic legal awareness?" "But everything happened so suddenly. How could I have possibly prepared for it?" I thought to myself. "You'd better resign. If you have no proof, how am I supposed to help you?" In that brief moment, I was so stunned that I forgot how to cry. I looked at him and muttered, "So… that's it, then?" "Of course!" He scoffed. "I'm a lawyer.

"I’m tired of this endless chase! Let it be! Maybe I was just never meant to have this throne after all! Maybe my brother truly belongs there!" He paces in frustration, muttering to himself, "So what if Father doesn’t trust me? That’s his problem. I believe in myself. I’ll make myself proud by taking responsibility for something else, something meaningful. Maybe then he’ll see that I’m not worthless!" Mounting his horse, Jona takes a deep, steadying breath.
