"Wait!" Cosette said, reaching out to grab Lumielle's hand to try and pull her back.
Looking down at the hand, her eyes narrowed, "Sir Leo can cut off your hand for touching an Imperial body, Lady Cosette. Remove your hand from me before I personally remove it for you."
It didn't matter if it made her sound harsh. Lumielle was done playing these games. Her patience was done for today. She was done for today.
What type of falsehoods would this girl speak? She had been blindsided. Lumielle had not realized that Viria had come here. Why didn't she dispose of her? It had been all her fault. Now she was walking towards death. What if Aris died again?
Because of her faults, her brother would be one step closer to the guillotine. It was all her fault. Lumielle was the one to blame.
She was about to turn around and leave when Cosette spoke up once more.
