CONVICTION

Disappointment cannot begin to describe the emotion that came rushing over Esmeralda after giving ears to her mother's explanation.

Rosa hid the truth, and let Esmeralda blame her mate for something he was not responsible for. Esmeralda could not believe she called Vimdraolf a monster when in fact he was the saviour.

Having no energy left by what she just heard, in a low, weak, almost lifeless voice, she asked her mother.

Why did you then let me believe he did it when you knew right from the onset that he was innocent?

Rosa burst out crying with her hand tightly pressed to her lips to make the sound subtle.

I never wanted you to hate your father Esmeralda, his ways may have been wrong, but the thought behind it held no sin my child. His love for you pushed him.

NO! Mother, what you did was not fair, it wasn't fair to me nor Vimdraolf.
