Not For Long (Ch.106)

"Neveah, you should answer to Lord Everon in a proper manner." Davina whispered to Neveah as though Lord Everon would not catch her words when he stood merely two steps ahead of them.

"And I have done so." Neveah replied in a blank tone, she did not see anything wrong with what she had said,

  Neveah was not certain what other special manner was considered the proper way of speaking other than plain honesty.

"I see you are unwilling to give a detailed reply." Lord Everon pointed out, not in an accusing manner but merely stating the obvious.

"If I did... I would speak untrue words." Neveah said, she did not intend to explain further and if she was forced to, she would not tell the truth as it had happened.

Revealing her true state and status in the Eclipse Palace did not appear beneficial to Neveah in anyway.

"Fair enough." Lord Everon said with a nod of understanding.
