"So… you came here as prisoners to… negotiate peace?"
Morvain stared at her with a raised eyebrow once Aurelia was done retelling everything that happened. Together with the Matriarch, the other Council Members were staring at Aurelia as well. The soldiers and Kayden had already returned to their positions, and Kael and Lavinia…
They too had stopped their public display of affection and were staring at Aurelia like the others—just that Lavinia still wasn't willing to let go of Kael's hand, as if afraid that he might leave again.
"That is correct."
Aurelia nodded, looking back into Morvain's eyes with a solemn look on her face, and Morvain… she just frowned.
"So you are telling me…
Your men surrounded Kael, then you proposed a duel saying that if you lost, you would let him go, you lost, and your men went back on your words, and now… your entire Kingdom would come after Kael because… he killed the people who went back on their words and attacked him and his children…?"
