CHAPTER 39
Mildred knew this was the end for him it seemed like the queen had come prepared. There was no other way out for him.
"Aeverie, please do as I have said and hurry."
"Yes, my queen." Just as she turned around to leave, a voice cried out.
"Wait." Era turned to her side to face him as she gazed down at him from the corners of her eyes.
"Please no need for that. I would speak the truth."
"I would ask again, who ordered you to let me ride that horse and who gave the order for the saddle to be cut?"
He hesitated briefly but finally he opened his mouth to say the answer. "It was her lady, Diona and his Lordship, Caspian."
"Insolence!"
Everyone turned their heads in the direction from whence the voice had come from. Unknown to them, when all these had begun, Lord Caspian's Paige boy had noticed it and rushed quickly to inform the wicked Lord.
Luckily for Mildred, he came just in time before Era issued her verdict.
