Lilian didn't want to hear about Madeline.
Madeline had a better chance of becoming queen since James was infatuated with her but she sought an escape.
Lilian always knew it would be unlikely that Madeline would have been named queen if James had wanted her to be since her father had gotten rid of anyone with a good chance.
Lilian couldn't understand Zayne's interest in what she did in the past. Why did this matter and how did he find out?
"You're a royal. I refuse to believe there isn't trouble in your palace. That you a prince never did cruel things to protect the things you love. You're a man who has taken many lives. You are not innocent so I will not have you make me out to be cruel," Lilian argued.
She had killed little in comparison to what Zayne did. He had no right to judge her when there were hundreds of lives taken by his sword.
