My mother looked around nervously, "I-I..."
The Queen smiled at her reassuringly, "Sharon. What do you think? Should we find the Marquis guilty? Even though he did remove you from the family tree, he is still your father."
The Marquis spoke quickly, "That's right! Sharon, I know I treated you poorly. But I am still your father. Think about your mother. Think about your family. Think about how much they would be hurt if you made the wrong decision."
My mother looked at my father with a panicked expression. Although Kane wanted to rip out the Marquis's throat, he knew he couldn't make this decision on my mother's behalf. He smiled warmly at her a placed his arm around her to comfort her. She looked down and pressed her lips together.
The Marquis noticed her hesitating and spoke quickly, "Do not forget about everything I have done for you. When you were a little girl, I spoiled you relentlessly. I gave you everything you wanted."
