"Simple question: why did you inform Lucky about Farani's situation?" Hood inquired of the two women who knelt in front of him.
They couldn't look up at him because they were terrified.
He said, "Why did you tell him?"
Mirida stammered, "I- I-"
"Speak up!" he exclaimed, making her jump slightly.
"My lord, I have no knowledge of this; I was under the influence of the full moon, and I was not at home that night when Lucky came." Roma defended herself while peering around the edges of her vision at her sister.
Mirida's eyes were tightly shut. Her palms sweated and her body shook with the fear of being found out and receiving a harsher punishment than she had received so far.
She was scared that her punishment would be more severe than her sister's.
Hood's eyes were on her, but she didn't dare to glance up.
