“Who gave you the earring? Who is with the other pair?”
Ula pointed at the man and he scoffed.
Aniya smiled, and adjusted Ula’s scarf. “Good.” Ula trembled slightly, still afraid and unsure of what this interaction might bring. When Aniya offered her a hand, she flinched slightly, eyed it with suspicion and fear before she took it.
The moment she was on her feet once more, she let Aniya’s hand go immediately and took a step back.
“Face me with whatever accusations you have and let her go.”
Aniya ignored him, instead she asked Ula if any child had been brought to the Temple recently to which Ula confirmed that it was true.
“He cries a lot.”
That brought Aniya no comfort at all.
Arlo wasn't the type of child to always cry.
By Ignas, what were they feeding her poor son?! Were they even taking care of him?
“The Head Mistress tries her best.”
That still wasn't enough. It didn't feel enough!
