"I'm sorry, I seemed to be eating a bit too quickly."
Noticing the suspicious look in Anna's eyes, Princess Veronica didn't panic after revealing a slip-up. Instead, she apologetically admitted,
"Today has just been filled with unexpected events. First, your brother suddenly proposed to me, then we were attacked by the rebels. I haven't really eaten anything since morning, so I couldn't help myself just now. Please don't laugh at me."
So that's how it is...
Seeing the princess openly admit to "scamming food and drink," and recalling her still elegant demeanor despite being a bit rushed, the suspicion faded slightly from Anna's eyes. She was drawn to a new topic thrown her way and asked with some concern,
"So... how is Leon? Were you with him today? Since you were attacked by rebels, was he hurt?"
"Don't worry. Although he ran into a tiny bit of trouble, his shoulder was hit by... a small pebble, and I suspect the wound has probably already healed."
