"Say Grace…" Crossing her legs while sitting on the ivory throne to an empty assembly hall, Mono leaned to the side and rested her head on the back of her hand. Glancing at Grace from the edge of her eyes, she held her stare for a few moments before speaking up again. "Why did you break Aperion?"
Unfazed by the question, Grace wondered whether she should come clean or keep up the secret with a lie. However, the flicker of hesitance in her gaze had already given Mono her desired answer. Lifting her head, the iron queen crossed her legs the other way, then with a deep sigh she shifted her head from the back of her left hand to the right.
"What have you and Shamisha been planning behind my back exactly?" She asked, throwing Shamisha's name into the mix as a shot in the dark.
