There was a silence that followed the sudden revelation. Lais had his mouth open looking at the woman. Her words do not make sense.
‘Is she making it up to help me? She should not.’ His head turned from Rosa to the King.
He did not know the significance of the medal. He was thinking about what to make of the situation. Lais was hard at thinking of escaping at this moment. His father, on the other hand, looked at the child calmly. He approached her and took the locket from her hand. He turned the silver locket in his hand.
The Monique symbol and the ribbon tied on top of it were visible. He watched the girl in before him again.
‘She did not steal it, right?’ “What is the name of the person who gave it to you?” Rosa smiled.
“My mother, the second wife of the late King Louis Leopold, Regina.” Khawar was not impressed with her answer.
