"Yes, Jade. We need to talk," Gale sneered as Jade entered the throne room. Jade sensed that something was wrong as they stared at her with obvious contempt and anger in their eyes, even Swan who was usually very passive and meek still showed her hostility this time.
Jade wasn't used to being glared at by so many people. She had always been respected, even worshiped by some beastmen.
Jade swallowed her saliva as she felt nervous all of a sudden. She took a step back, but before she could leave the throne room, the guards behind her shut the door, making sure that Jade would be trapped in the throne room until she got punished for her crime.
"W-what is this? Why are all of you looking at me like I'm a criminal?" Jade asked as she tried her best to sound natural. She glared back at Alice, the bunny maid, and said, "And why are you here? You are just a maid. You're not supposed to listen to any private conversation in the throne room."
