"What happened on the night of the bloodbath?"
As Agalea asked with a serious expression, Viona felt a chill down her spine and was shocked.
How did the Queen get light of this? She wondered while trying not to show the surprise on her face or through body language.
Viona stayed calm and collecting herself, she answered, "I beg your pardon, Your Majesty, but I do not know."
Lying to the Queen was an offence punishable by death. Viona was well-versed with it but still said that as she knew she wasn't lying.
Though she wasn't lying, she wasn't telling the truth either.
Agalea, looking at Viona, could tell something was off. However, she didn't take any action as Lith was in charge and was waiting for his command.
Lith didn't notice Viona's shocked expression but he did feel something was fishy. He gestured to Agalea to question her further and instructed her what to do next.
