She Was Not Harmed

Ember continued to cry, letting out sobs with her eyes closed tightly. 

Leeora and Cornelia looked at each other, not knowing what to draw out of this situation. They wanted to ask Ember, but judging the situation, she was in no condition to talk. They would have to wait for her to calm down.

"I-I wonder what happened." Cornelia fiddled with her hands. "The King wouldn't have…he wouldn't…"

Even Leeora was at a loss as well. "Sire did not forget to open the door before he left to let us know we could enter. He shouldn't have ill intentions towards this child…"

The question was what Draven did and why. It was totally unexpected behaviour from their king. It would have been easier for them to imagine Draven killing this human than seeing him turn her into such a situation.
