#Chapter158
/"Princess,/" Annelece, with the body of an anorexic, and merely a layer of skin covering his bones, walked towards her, with his beard reaching till his stomach, his tattered clothes.
/"Annelece...Is what she said true?/" Adelaida asked.
/"Why would a keeper of death lie to you about killing someone?/" Vierne intervened.
/"You killed him?/"
/"I did,/" Lict accepted as he came forward.
/"Music? Why?!/" Adelaida asked as she clenched his bloody garments.
/"Because he dared try and violate my lady,/"
/"My lady?/" Nataniel looked at Vierne.
Adelaida looked down in shame, /"I never thought of uncle to be someone like that,/"
/"But that's how he was, apparently,/" Vierne said.
/"He lied to you about everything, princess,/" Annelece said, /"Your brother's death was not because of some disease, but poison, that your uncle fed him,/"
/"Not because of the sickness you passed?/"
