104 Skeletons

Emilia's POV

Veronica was quiet for a moment, lost in thought.

Even though she was still young, she had a stiff, formal demeanor. But some of her youthful energy remained, showing through in subtle ways. Her eyes still reflected a range of emotions, betraying her otherwise controlled appearance.

"Miss, Alpha Klaus ordered me to look after you. However, Prince Caesar has already punished them for their behavior. Do you want to witness their punishment firsthand?" Veronica asked, catching me off guard with her question.

She must have thought I was furious with those three strange men, assuming I wanted revenge. But all I had asked was whether she thought they looked odd. How could I possibly explain to her that I thought they were skeletons?

"No, Veronica, I..." I bit my lip, unsure how to explain. Was I supposed to just ask, "Hey, did you notice they looked like skeletons?"
