Were they going to punish her?
Vaughn seemed to be targeting the young girl who was the beloved of Solomon.
Given that there were hundreds present in the crowd he was only looking at her while he said those words.
The servants glanced at her and then at each Other. They were understanding where it was coming from.
"Spreading rumours will be considered equally a crime as the rest of it is." Vaughn spoke loud and clear making sure that everyone in the court room could hear him clearly. "This is the first and the last time that leniency is allowed. The next time we catch you," he paused, "and we will,"
"You will be killed on sight and an example will be made out of you."
From what I could see, his face went to the woods the young girl again.
"Any questions?" Vaughn asked with a tilt of his head and I almost laughed at that.
