"Your grace," Lord Seraphino dropped to one knee immediately as he caught sight of Jael and Mauve looking down at him.
Vae let out a pain-filled whimper as Lord Seraphino dropped to one knee. He was holding the rope around her neck and had pulled on it as he bowed to Jael.
Mauve could tell Vae would have screamed louder if she had the energy to.
Vae fell, managing to stop her face from hitting the ground by putting out her palms in front of her. She stayed on the ground with her face on the floor.
Mauve winced and she felt water in her eyes. That was a cruel thing to do and she could tell he had done it on purpose.
The fact that Vae was here in this state and with a rope tied around her neck told Mauve all that she needed to know.
Mauve hid her face against Jael's chest as she tried to recover and process what was going on. Surely, Lord Seraphino couldn't do this?
