[Margaret's POV]
Lillian, standing before me now, naturally had no significant status, but after all, she was a junior whom Licia had liked and valued. How could an ordinary servant dare to hit her outright?
Thus, this maid must be one of Licia's more capable attendants. As for why she appeared here first, this indeed was a question worth my deep contemplation.
With Alpha Austin dead and the Windstorm Pack weakened, Lillian also promptly lost all the backing she could rely on. Licia still valued Lillian so greatly, surely there was something beyond my knowledge going on here.
Perhaps, Licia wasn't completely satisfied with me, the definitive Lycan Queen. I pondered over these thoughts in my heart, feeling inexplicably gloomy.
However, I quickly adjusted myself, and after a light sigh, I asked the maid, "Are you saying this isn't the first time Lillian has tried to run away? Among those mother sent to guard her, isn't there anyone more capable?"
