Clementine:
"Why did you bring me here?"
I heard Mrs. Fiona speak to her daughter, who was taking her out into the dark garden to have a conversation with us. She must have not told her the real reason why she was bringing her here.
I guessed it was okay this way.
It was just Haiden and me waiting for her. Troy and Yorick walked out of that hall and then never returned. And once we were leaving for the Royal Garden, I did see them briefly standing next to one of the cars and having a conversation.
I’m not sure if they saw us or not because it had been two hours now. So I didn’t know what they were doing there.
However, after two hours of great pain standing in the same hall with all the people I didn’t like, Haiden and I finally walked out when the party was over.
We made it seem like we were going after Yorick and Troy because our bracelets were indicating that they had gone too far, which was a lie. But my father didn’t know the truth about the whole details of the bracelet. So he just believed it, and obviously, it must have not even occurred to him that we were on to something.
Now we were standing behind a big tree waiting for Mrs. Fiona to come into view. The minute we stepped out, she gasped and stepped back.
"What are they doing here?"
I guessed she already knew it was too odd for crusaders to have a confrontation with her behind a big tree.
"Lydia, why are they here? Why did you bring me here? What did you say to them?"
Her mother instantly turned to hold her hands and started shaking her.
"Mom, please listen to me. They will help us, I promise."
As soon as Lydia said that, her mother raised her hand to hit her on the back of her head.
"You fool, did you tell her about her father’s demands? Are you crazy? This is Clementine. Did you not see her grow up among us? Her father would not care about what she wants to say." As Mrs. Fiona started to explain to her daughter that it was a bad idea to trust me, Haiden began to grow impatient.
"Excuse me, you’re telling your daughter to quit trying to save her dignity? She does not want to sleep with that old filthy man and she doesn’t have to," Haiden screamed at her, and she instantly went silent.
Of course, she could not argue with someone as big of a person as Haiden.
"Your Highness, I respect you as a crusader, but please don’t expect me to believe that any of you would be able to help us," she uttered, trying to remind us what a messed-up man my father could be. And also that he had a lot of influence to control their lives.
