[Margaret’s Perspective]
Upon hearing this familiar na, I lifted my head and spoke with so surprise, "Lillian? Is that you?"
The next mont, I heard her step forward and yank off the eye mask on my face.
I squinted my eyes and took a mont to adjust, then I looked up at her.
"It’s been a long ti, Your Highness, the Lycan Queen!" Lillian said with a hint of sarcasm, her familiar face brimming with schadenfreude.
Faced with Lillian’s sudden appearance, the surprise in my heart gradually dissolved. After pondering for a mont, I felt a sense of helplessness and amusent.
I slowly curved my lips while maintaining eye contact with Lillian, but there wasn’t a trace of a smile in my eyes, "Licia went to great lengths to get you out of the Royal City, and this is how you repay her efforts? Austin and Henry made their choice to collaborate, but you didn’t have to get involved. After all, being called a traitor isn’t flattering!"
Lillian smiled upon hearing this and leaned in, looking straight at to say, "How do you know that isn’t what Licia truly wants? Perhaps she has already betrayed you, and now she’s on Henry’s side, along with us."
With an unmistakably proud look on her face, I began to doubt the truth behind her words! If Licia had indeed abandoned Donald in favor of Henry, that would be exceedingly cruel.
Thinking of this, my heart ached for Donald, but I didn’t show any fear on my face.
Seeing that I remained silent, Lillian straightened up and slowly made way for the door, "I forgot to tell you, my brother doesn’t need your concern about what he wants to do; he can manage it himself."
"Although many have said this to you before, I still want to say, long ti no see, Margaret!"
My eyes widened as I looked at the werewolf behind Lillian. If it weren’t for the searing pain on my face, I would have started to doubt everything as a terrible nightmare!
"Have you forgotten so soon? I thought I had left a rather deep impression on you!" Austin said with a smile.
Goosebumps crawled up my arms, and the sudden ’resurrection’ of Austin frightened so much that I unconsciously tugged at the corner of my mouth, speaking in an evasive tone, "Because of your death, Donald nearly collapsed several tis, and now you’re telling you’re still alive? Ha! You’re really a bunch of terrifying and twisted maniacs!"
I said, and then burst into an abrupt laugh, feeling as if I too was going mad.
"Do you have any more ’surprises’ to tell ? Perhaps now is the ti! Is Licia here too? Why doesn’t she co out and see ?"
Seemingly satisfied with my current state of disarray, Lillian took Austin’s arm with a raised chin and a mocking smile, "What’s the rush? Aunt Licia is busy with sothing right now, she’ll co to see you later."
My suspicions were confird by her words, and I looked down, laughing bitterly without saying more.
Brand was the first to notice that sothing was wrong with . He looked at with great concern and, after so thought, spoke directly to the man standing last in the crowd, who had been silent all along, "Haven’t you noticed that Margaret’s condition is off? If you truly want her dead, you might as well leave her unattended! Even feeble, foolish humans have rules against mistreating captives, is that all the scope you have, Rebels?"
Lillian laughed at Brand’s words and looked up and down at him, amused.
"Your intentions are too obvious. The fact that we haven’t killed Margaret is testant to our kindness. What makes you think we would treat her wounds? Kids are just too naive." Lillian spoke, and even scoffed disdainfully, but the next mont, her facial expression froze in place.
Henry gestured toward Aiden beside him with a casual tone, "Clean up the wounds on her face, and try not to kill her too easily."
"Have you lost your mind, Henry? Why would you treat her wounds? Have you forgotten who put those bullets in you?" Lillian asked, perplexed, looking at Henry as if he were a madman.
Henry didn’t even spare her a glance, just lifted the corners of his lips, and coldly said, "Do I need to explain my actions to you? You seem to be losing sight of your place. By what authority are you questioning ?"
Lillian closed her mouth upon hearing this, seemingly a bit wary of Henry at that mont, and she gripped Austin’s hand tighter.
Austin seed to have changed a lot. He no longer protected Lillian with ticulous care as he did before, and he appeared accustod to Lillian’s unrestrained and blunt attitude.
Aiden walked over with a dical kit and began to kneel down to clean the wound on my forehead.
The alcohol-soaked gauze was pressed rcilessly onto my wound, and the sharp pain made grunt softly, as my face flushed red quickly!
I glared coldly at Aiden, with no doubt in my mind that he was doing it on purpose.
"My apologies, Your Highness, I am not a professional dical Practitioner, so my treatnt might be a bit crude. Please bear with it for a mont!"
Aiden’s eyes were full of provocation and mockery. As he spoke, he pressed the object against again. I shivered and laughed coldly, "Then you are indeed very unprofessional. I wonder how soone deed a ’genius with potions’ like MASTER ever saw potential in you, to have you as his subordinate."
