"You earned it."
Coton couldn't believe his ears upon hearing the duke's reply after he told him what happened. Lola, the maid from the La Forte Duchy, beat him and he wished the duke would punish her. However, instead of getting help, he was blamed for it.
"Are you going to choose her side because she's with the lady?" Coton pursed his lips as he continued his dramatic rants. "I gave you everything, your grace. I never betrayed. Maybe I'm different from anyone else in the pack but I'm your most loyal aide," he said, forcing his tears to come out in hopes it would get some impact.
"But I only have one aide, and that's you." Damian shrugged. He glanced over his aide's shoulder to check the maid. "Are you alright?" He asked Lola who nodded her head.
"This is unfair," Coton mumbled as he looked at the duke painfully. He didn't wait for his response before turning his back to him as he marched away.
