Dead or just beaten? [2/2]

Jo purred like a cat as I washed the dirt from her cheeks and neck. Bella nodded at my words and looked at the group kneeling before us.

"Wai-wait! Is that all? You don't even ask why I'm here? Your kindred hid my participation from you! Why are you letting her off the hook?!"

"This is something only the Sirens understand, you arrogant, opportunistic piece of garbage. Dearest trusts us unconditionally. The fact that Bella vouched for you means that he no longer doubts that you can be harmful to him."

"Hmph! Lilly Browning! You are also in the headlines since yesterday! I heard that you quit the White Guard and left the Browning family. Have they commented on your actions yet?"

This woman really has guts. Not even royalty can intimidate her.
