The next morning Delju was called into the meeting hall by the elders. She was made to sit on the floor in front of most of the wives and all of the elders.
"Lady Delju, I'm sure you have found out by now that your personal maid, Gaelire, has been caught stealing money with the treasurer from the wives' allowances." One of the elders spoke, detailing the crimes.
"Oh my...I knew nothing about it..." Delju promptly chose to deny everything.
"Bullshit!" Thalia stood up and pointed her finger in Delju's face.
"How am I lying?"
"You've been receiving twice as much as we get monthly. And you say you didn't know!?"
"Well...I just thought Mano liked me more than you guys." Delju held her head up, smugly looking at the others wives.
"What!?" A cry of outraged went around the room.
"B***h, your shit ain't that good!" Thalia remarked.
"How would you know?..." Delju gritted her teeth against Thalia insult.
