But he did not answer.
He simply kept walking forward with his head held high.
Finally, his turn came.
The royal assistant looked at Clara and then at the narrow wooden frame.
He hesitated.
“Forgive me, miss… but this frame may be too narrow. Maybe it would be better than you…”
Suddenly Prince Adrian raised his hand.
“No.”
Everyone turned to him.
The prince got up from his chair.
“Let me try.”
Absolute silence filled the throne room.
Women who had been laughing just a few moments earlier stopped smiling.
Clara looked at the mysterious wooden frame.
Then he slowly walked toward him.simo
One step.
Then another.
Everyone watched.
Some expected him to end up being ashamed.
Others were already preparing to laugh again.
Clara carefully entered the frame.
And less than a minute later, something happened that left everyone present in the throne room completely paralyzed by surprise. 😱😲
The second part of the story is in the first comment 👇👇
Clara entered the wooden frame.
For a second, nothing happened.
Then, a gentle click resounded throughout the throne room.
Several women exchanged confused glances.
Prince Adrian didn’t move.
King Edward neither.
Clara slowly lowered her gaze.
A hidden section at the bottom of the frame had been opened.
There was a small golden box inside.
The whole room was silent.
The royal assistant looked at her like she saw a ghost.
Clara took the box carefully.
“What is this?” he asked.
Prince Adrian finally stepped forward.
“Open it.”
Clara hesitated, then raised the lid.
There were no jewels inside.
