章 95: Broken bonds (2)

"I was afraid that you would get angry at me."

During her engagement ceremony, her mother had made sure to remind her of all the things that they had done for her. It was like she was paying a debt of being raised by her own parents who gave birth to her.

"But why would you think that Lily, you are our child and you are our priority."

Queen Aubrey's mood had changed so quickly that even her own husband got surprised by her.

Richard who had taken a single cushioned plush chair silently observed each and every person in the room.

Though Lilith looked calm and composed on the outside, he could easily tell that she was nervous due to how her heart beat unsteadily.

This was time for her to speak her heart out and he was not going to interfere unless it was necessary.
