My fist clenched and my chest clenched when I saw the condition of Ezera's lofty mansion. Even though Dad himself said so, there was still a part of me that hoped it wasn't true!
But looking at the manor's state right now, I cannot defy myself anymore. In an instant the place my cousin loved was destroyed. The place was really burned. That is undeniable.
I grabbed my chest and sobbed. I would have almost knelt down in front of the broken gate if Demir hadn't just touched me by the elbow.
"P-How did their mansion burn down ?! Uncle is the Arev! It's impossible that no one saw when the fire was just starting! It's impossible that no one helped! Tell me, did they all die inside ?!" I gripped Demir's dress tightly.
"Calm down, Lady Ameira."
"No! Tell me the truth! Are you sure that all of them died-"
"Yes. They are all dead. Their bodies were already found. You could check them yourself in the morgue. Is that answer enough for you, my lady?"
