The usual serenity at Alaric Rhionen's residence was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Rosalien. Her brothers were surprised to see her because they all thought that she was dead.
She now stood in front of them with a cold and ruthless expression they had never seen before. She also refused to talk. It made them realize that something bad had happened to her.
[I managed to escape ... I think they have no interest in keeping me after Master's death.] Rosalien said in writing to her siblings. Her tongue had been connected but she still couldn't speak properly and she hated her own voice.
"What did they do to you?" Mischa asked in concern.
Rosalien's face hardened because the question brought her back to her detainment. Lauriel did not torture her nor did he hurt her. The man had only forced her to drink veritaserum so that she would betray Alaric and her friends, but Rosalien had bitten her tongue to prevent herself from talking.
