443. Returning the Favor

What was she doing? Mauve asked herself as she stood beside Louis who was giving her a confused look.

This was none of her business she knew but overhearing their conversation she couldn't help but get out of the room. She hadn't intended to butt in but when Louis spotted her, she just couldn't stop the words from pouring out of her lips.

"You heard me." She heard herself say. Mauve almost smacked herself. Why was she provoking him?

"Yeah, and I am wondering if you have been paying attention to what's going on."

"I have. You said it yourself. It's your fault. Doesn't that mean you should try harder and not give up? Jael has every reason to be angry. You were away for so long."

"I thought you were on my side."

"I am that's why I am here right now. I don't want you to leave. I don't know many of Jael's family except Lady Marceline."

Louis raised a brow, "You met her?" He asked with surprise.

"Yeah."
