"Do you think I will just get my details from another's mouth without any proof? Don't you think I'm not capable of getting credible information?" The King asked, and his voice was back to being cold again.

"You are blinded by what you feel about him."

I swallowed hard, but I kept my gaze on him. I was torn between challenging him more and allowing him to speak his mind.

"Father, please..."

"Do not make me bend my words."
