Camilla was both horrified and scared about what her younger sister said. "Don't speak about that ever again, especially in front of Aunt Nelida or her servant. Do you understand me Riyana?" She shouted.
Riyana sniffled when her sister scolded her. She normally did not shout at her unless she did something terrible.
"I heard it from the servants. They did not know that I was there. They were talking about how our mother died from the poison and not from the accident."
"Stop that. Don't talk anymore!"
Riyana sobbed.
Camilla was heartbroken. She did not want to see her sister cry. She wanted to protect her but she was only a child.
"I am sorry for shouting at you Riyana. Please don't cry anymore. Let us go to sleep early so we recover soon. Our elder sister seems to be a good person. Maybe, our lives will be better with her around." Camilla said with a hopeful voice.
