Even if there was a lightning strike from outside, Mars and Gewen wouldn't be this shocked to hear Lily's statement.
Emmelyn accused Ellena of killing the queen??
Why would Ellena do that? Queen Elara was so nice to her and treated her like her own daughter. Ellena, Gewen, Mars, and Edgar were very close since they grew up together and the queen was kind to all of them.
"Don't you dare speak bullshit about Ellena!" Gewen immediately snapped at Lily. "I know you are Athos's wife, but I will not tolerate you spouting nonsense about our good friend!"
Lily shrank in her place to see his anger. She didn't expect the beautiful general would lash out at her.
Seeing his wife scared, Athos immediately rose from his seat and stood before his wife, as if protecting her from Gewen's fury.
