Chapter eighteen 'I'm sorry Xenia'

On the high table in the valley's court, the seven keepers of the valley sat, arguing and agreeing with separate notions.

Lily was so pissed, that she slammed her fist on the table, staring at each and every one of the sisters with piercing blue eyes.

“So what you all say is Violet should be freed even though she might have a hand in the queen's DEMISE?!”

Alex flinched, staring at the rage in Lilly's blue eyes.

“She's your daughter, lilly. Even today's her birthday and she's spending it in the cell!”

“Lilly, what makes you hate Violet so much? Today's her sixteenth birthday, there's no way she had anything to do with the late queen death. You know damn well she's closer to Thea than her own daughter!” Bashiru said.

“Exactly. Or do you think Violet is a heartless freak because of her unique hair and eyes colour.”

Lilly eyes twitched and she sat back on her chair, muttering in a tone tone, “That has nothing to do with this case.”
