Well, what could he say? I mean, he expected that Ilsandra really really hated him - but not enough to rat him out to Azrael. Honestly, he could forgive that. What he couldn't put aside was how much danger she had put his beloved wives in. He was fair game - but they were not.
After Zephyra explained that she had seen the foul red-head sabotage the boat to crash and that she had the enslaved crew left them to drown, he became enraged.
Azier hadn't said a damn word since she had completed her brief story, but he felt his own body heat rise as anger spread through his veins. They must have felt the same, because no one spoke up or stopped him as he started to growl. Instead the looked away or down as though they, too wanted to believe something else.
