Adeline had a filter usually... But this time the words left her mouth faster than she could think, "You're an assassin who killed unarmed people, it's too late to talk about honour."
"..." Dimitri stood in shock with his mouth gaping. His lady... Really speaks her mind.
The man coughed twice before whispering, "I suppose you are right." He wasn't going to hit the Duke but she was right that he had no honour left.
He climbed onto the horse prepared to follow them. He would be facing the child... A victim of his crimes. He didn't hope for forgiveness, he didn't deserve that.
But he hoped that by helping this child find the truth, he could at least provide him with some sense of closure.
Their first stop, however, wasn't Everett. Adeline insisted they meet the Duchess first. She said it was essential, though the man didn't fully understand why. Adeline had a plan, and he was in no position to question it.
