Before it happened, Henrie added, "But you wanted me to pardon her. And I have given you my word. As long as she cooperates with the investigation, I will consider another punishment that won't involve death."

"However, My Love, I must tell you, she's been stubborn. I highly doubt that she'll speak anytime soon, and I do not have time on my hands to patiently wait for her."
Yohana knew that her request might be too much. She shouldn't have abused her position and Henrie's power. If anyone caught wind of this, Henrie's reputation would be in jeopardy. However, Yohana couldn't help but be affected by her attachment to Madam Geneviere.
