It was coincidentally at this time when a giggle was heard coming from the crowd.
It came from a noblewoman. After that, the rest of the crowd could not help themselves and began to cover their mouths as they sniggered.
In truth, they were wise enough to tell that Alice was not lying in an instant. Combined with Prince William’s reputation in his social circle, if the assassins’ ambush incident was genuine, it was apparent that Alice was telling the truth.
If Prince William was so petrified that he wet himself, it was truly disgraceful! Ludwig was the prince of Yingland!
Prince William’s impression in the hearts of the people would be ruined if they were to learn about the incident. In that case, how could he lead them in the future?
Apart from these distinguished guests, even the ministers serving the royal family began to laugh in spite of themselves.
Prince William’s expression was extremely unpleasant after witnessing the situation. Ludwig clenched his teeth in rage and was nearing an emotional breakdown. His eyes were ablaze!
That c*nt Alice was trying to get herself killed!
“Alice!” Prince William had almost lost his composure completely and had a ferocious expression on his face. “You must apologize! You must apologize for defaming me!”
Alice felt even more fearful in her heart after seeing how aggressive he was being. Still, she did not cower either.
Instead, she gathered enough courage to raise her head and said, “I refuse to apologize because I didn’t say anything wrong. I was only telling the truth!”
“On the contrary, you, Prince William, you’re the well-respected Prince of Yingland and the grandson of the Queen, but you twisted the truth and defamed your savior maliciously. You should apologize to Barne!”
Barne heaved a sigh when Alice said that. Her words had sealed her fate.
The royal family had no idea how to deal with the situation.
Everyone knew that Yingland was a country that valued its reputation the most. On the other hand, the royal family of Yingland would never tolerate being defamed and provoked.
Alice’s actions were considered a provocation, even if she was telling the truth. The royal family would never let Alice off the hook under such circumstances.
The silly girl was too impulsive.
It was easy to see that the numerous Alexander family members frowned after Alice made the remark Horton was in a state of great confusion. Ludwig was already weighing in his head if he should disown Alice right there and then.
After all, no matter how powerful they were, the Alexanders were no match for the royal family.
That was not even taking the all-powerful Queen into account. Alice’s stubbornness made him rather furious. She was completely disobedient and had caused so much trouble!
“This is absurd! How dare you defame the royal family’s honor. Guards!”
A minister standing next to Prince William waved his hand and summoned more than ten elite royal guards. They surrounded Alice immediately.
Ludwig said, “Ms. Alice Alexander, I am commanding you in the name of the royal family to apologize to Prince William immediately. Apologize to the royal family this instant!”
The pressure on Alice increased exponentially.
Everyone could tell that the royal family would certainly punish Alice if she still had no sense of propriety. It was highly possible that Alice could be imprisoned!
The numerous members of the Alexander family did not have the courage to speak anymore under such circumstances. In fact, quite a number of them were complaining about Alice and found that she was being unreasonable.
Not only had she disgraced her own family, but she had also triggered the anger of the royal family. She was a jinx!
A pleased look flashed past Prince William’s gaze. Ludwig stared at Alice, his eyes saying, ‘You want to defend the reputation of the Rheasian, but I won’t let you have any chance to do so.’
