Bab 401: Damn The Consequences (Ch.401)

Lord Rodrick complied, walking over to a visibly anxious Davina, his gaze narrowed in concern and confusion.

"Davie... what is going on here? Did you really try to hurt Lady Neveah? You are so fond of her, why would you want to do such a thing? How would you even know to contact dwarves?" Lord Rodrick asked in a helpless tone.

"I... I did it, I did it." Davina mumbled quietly, admitting guilt to all the accusations even when it was logically impossible for her to plan everything out on her own without a concrete motive.

"What are you saying Davina?! Do you hear yourself?!" Lord Rodrick hissed, grabbing hold of Davina's shoulders in a desperate attempt to shake some sense into her.

Everon stepped forward to stop Lord Rodrick but Neveah shook her head slightly to dissuade him, this scene had to play out uninterrupted.

"Davina! Listen to your father, say everything you know exactly as it happened right now!" Lord Rodrick demanded sternly.
