"When a person makes a mistake or misspeaks, it's their responsibility to own up to it! Miss Lillian, do you find it difficult to offer a sincere apology to our Lycan Queen? Heh."
Benjamin rose during the quiet, his mouth emitting a few ambiguous chuckles, and he continued without pause, looking towards Lillian whose face had turned red: "You might not know, but the last one who publicly defied our Lycan Queen like this wasn't let off easily with just an apology or two. She was thrown directly into prison by their pack's Alpha!"
