Chapter 450 - The Grief (2/2)

"What do youI don't?"

"Lady Eain that she was framed by Lady Ellena That little witch is the reason why E that happened to her should be blaer and added, "Who knows if her uncle sent assassins to find Emmelyn and kill her? I actually suspect that Emmelyn's death has to do with the Prestons"

Gewen shook his head in frustration "There is no evidence that Ellena killed the queen and frame Emmelyn We all kno much they hated each other I won't be surprised if Ellena talks bad about Emmelyn, and vice versa They can't help it They loved the same man"

He added, "Mars is not stupid and he loves his wife so deeply He is just like his father, the previous king Don't you think he would have punished the Prestons and Ellena if they are really responsible for what happened?"

Lily ondering the sa Why was it so hard to see justice for E punish the Prestons?

If he truly loved Emmelyn as he always made himself appear to, then, ouldn't he s pay?

"I ask myself that question every day," Lily responded curtly She rubbed Harlow's hair in frustration "I that her father didn't do anything to punish the people who are responsible for her mother's death?"

As if she understood the adults' conversation around her Harlow tilted her head and looked at Lily with her big round eyes

Her eye color had sho and it was golden, just like her father and her grandmother She was so adorable that Geas dazed and stopped talking

He let Lily's words sink in As he watched Harlow, he agreed with Lily that it would be bad for Harlow to grow up not having a mother and she would blame her father for what happened

"Look I will not hesitate to kill anyone who hurt my friend and his family, but without evidence, ill only have she said she said, and Eer around to prove her claiht about it deeply

He continued his words, "We must uphold justice and not punish people just because Emmelyn said they are wicked and responsible for a cri is fair He told me he also suspects Ellena, but he hasn't taken any direct action against her and her family because he doesn't have evidence"

"Give the man a break He is the one who suffers thesecond-hand sorrow, he is thethat happened, yet he still tries to be fair and doesn't go on a rauilty"

Gewen stared at Lily pleadingly He understood where she was co from Lily was really close to Emmelyn and she was upset by Emmelyn's death, but Gewen believed it was not fair to bla quick actions like what Lily wanted

Wasn't it a good sign that their new king was a much better leader than his father?

Before Lily could respond to Gewen's words, their butler showed up at the door and bowed down respectfully

"Your Grace, the king is here He just arrived," he said with a low voice

Everyone in the roolances They were very surprised by Mars' sudden appearance

"How does he look?" Lily asked her butler She wanted to know if the king still looked devastated, haggard, or if he already looked slightly better

"His Majesty said he caard and tired and to be honest, a bit scary" Ben explained

"Oh" Lily had never seen the scary side of Mars so she didn't knohat to expect However, Athos and Gewen did Both ht
