Chương 446: Wrath or Mercy

Zephyr lingered outside the doorway of the infirmary, biting his lip. 

"Aren't you going to see her? She's been asking for you. The kelpie already visited," Cordelia said softly, raising an eyebrow. 

She had visited Daphne earlier after Healer Sirona had told her the sobering truth; Daphne had no memory of her pregnancy due to the trauma she experienced, and King Atticus had all but implemented a gag order on everyone. 

No one was to speak of Daphne's pregnancy unless they wanted to die a slow and painful death. 

Never mind that this was technically her uncle's palace and King Atticus had no right to order Xahan's own citizens, let alone herself, Cordelia thought bitterly. King Atticus had waltzed inside Xahan and made decisions for everyone. Of course, her uncle and aunt could technically fight him, but they didn't want to die on this hill, not when they had three young children to look after.
