Garcia' POV
Princess Barbara shifts uncomfortably under my steady gaze. Her reluctance to answer my questions tells me everything I need to know, but I wonder if she realizes how transparent her discomfort has become.
She likely assumes her secret remains buried. After all, no one has spoken my name in connection with this investigation. She probably thinks whatever tracks she covered will stay hidden forever.
"You established your bond with Prince Harris many years ago and bore him two children. Would you confirm this timeline?" I maintain eye contact as the words leave my lips.
"That timeline is accurate." Her response comes with visible tension, and I catch the flash of pain that crosses King Patton's features.
This path leads somewhere painful for everyone involved, but my oath demands I follow the Law regardless of personal cost.
