I was shocked by what Queen Fortuna said. How could she just decide so quickly that the ring was stolen? It didn't make sense. It could still be somewhere around. Maybe it fell or someone moved it. I looked at the king. He was thinking about it, his brows drawn in confusion. I couldn't just keep quiet and let her sway him.
"I don't think the ring is missing, Your Highness," I said gently. "We should search properly. It might still be around."
"Where exactly?" Queen Fortuna snapped, crossing her arms. She looked like she was ready to fight me if I said one more word. "Tell us then. Show us where it is so we can pick it up. The king needs his ring."
"I don't know where it is, Queen Fortuna. It could be lying anywhere," I answered, feeling her sharp eyes trying to tear me apart. She wanted to make me look like a fool in front of everyone.
