Mated to My best friend

Aegon scoffed. "You? Alone?
"She won’t be alone," I interjected sharply. "If Ingrid wishes to prove her innocence, then she will have my full support."
Aegon’s golden eyes flashed with something I couldn't understand. Guilt? Frustration? Whatever it was, he did not speak against me, and that was victory enough.
Kane sighed. "Very well. But Ingrid, you must be careful. If someone truly did steal the Jewel, they may not wish for their crime to be uncovered."
