Capítulo 442: One True Monster

"What the fuck did I just see?" Cordelia demanded.

"Grief makes people do strange things," Queen Lavinia replied, but there was a note of unease in her voice. King Atticus's brutality had shocked her to her very core. He had spilled blood without caring about his host. What's more, he inflicted such a vicious, cruel wound to someone of his own party.
