What would a mere crown princess do to an untouchable journalist?Your reputation is in tatters and everyone hates you, and what you choose to do is piss off the crown princess!?
And she didn't rise up by herself,she was propped up by a massive crime syndicate that's actually in the pockets of Farisian war hawks.Not just piss her off. Basically threaten her in a place with absolutely no witnesses, with no backup, and no weapons. This situation would make sense if she at least had a gun or something but nope. She’s got nothing other than her boundless confidence that she could outwit/threaten a girl who literally rose up from nothing to rule
Or they slapped her too much (a pendulum swings both ways)you just know her parents never slapped her in the face for fucking up.
