Azura turned her head in his direction, a dark look on her face. "You lots are always up to something. I wouldn't kill Vaughn. Virgil wouldn't like it."
"But you couldn't spare my father."
Azura's left eye twitched. "An unfortunate incident, as we have established. Which wouldn't have happened if you all never took my daughter. Thankfully, I have her now. Vaughn's death serves no purpose to me."
"We know that," Claude replied, and his dark circles became a little more pronounced. He crossed his legs, resting his ankle on his knee.
"We have reasons to believe Vilhelm did, but he is rallying up the troops, saying you did it." He kept his gaze on Azura as he spoke.
"Vilhelm?" Her jaw tightened. "If Vaughn is dead, and maybe at the hands of Vilhelm, it is then safe to assume Vilhelm murdered his brother Virgil and took my daughter."
"Yes," Claude replied. He looked like he was about to say more but held his tongue. "She doesn't know?" He asked, looking at Maya.
