The black-haired princess in purple stands on a crate before a crowd. The crate reads “HAWTHORNE FAMILY BUTCHERS.” She says: “Ahem. I do apologize to all you good people for any offense you might have taken during my visit. As your duchess, I vow to do better, as it is an honor to have Ashcombe as my duchy. I am deeply sorry.”
