Chapter 35: The Origin of the Generals

“Just to reiterate what His Grace said, there is no way Lord Marcus would commit such a crime now!” Gaius hastily added as he saw Sidia’s reaction. “He has grown so much, and he would never betray his brother again.”

“It’s all right!” Sidia fought hard to hide her emotions again, shoving down the anger and disappointment. “I’m just surprised Severus could ever trust him again after such an incident.”

“As His Grace said, there is no way Lord Marcus could ever disobey him. Lord Marcus repented, and he has come quite a long way. Please remember this all happened centuries ago. He is not the same man.” The words tumbled out of Gaius’s mouth. He seemed desperate to reassure Sidia about Marcus’s character.

“I understand. It just helps me learn more about what happened. If anything, it speaks to how gracious and forgiving Severus can be.” Sidia smiled at them, trying her best to appear unbothered.
