Mauve watched in horror as Otis walked away after saying those terrible words to Mill. She turned her attention to Mill and Mill's expression wasn't what Mauve expected.
"What was that about?" Mill asked with a disgusted look on her face.
"I don't know and I am sorry about what he said. He wouldn't have insulted you if it weren't for me."
"Tsk! Don't apologize and his words didn't faze me, it was just so unexpected I didn't know how to react. Don't worry about it so much."
Mauve nodded but she knew that would be hard to do. Even though she didn't care about her father, she would be deeply hurt if someone said that to her.
She winced, this wasn't the first time she had witnessed someone say something bad about Mill because of her, and it made her feel very awful.
"We should go," she said when Mauve didn't respond. "It's been a while since Lord Louis and Danag requested our presence in the library."
Mauve nodded. "Yeah, we should."
