"How could my mother be the cause of the Great Bloodbath fifteen years ago?"

Zoe's knees finally gave way as she crumbled on the floor. Fortunately, she was in a good hiding spot. She couldn't see the disappointed looks on the guests that were just honoring her a while ago. 

"Lady Lin is the instigator of the Bloodbath? But she disappeared way before then! We even thought she was already dead until her daughter showed up."

"Why would she do it? Is she acting in revenge because the King chose the Queen instead of her?"

"Why would he choose her? She is only a halfling."

He was still dumbfounded that some people opened the door out of nowhere while the dancers were having an intermission dance.
