The sound of the slap echoed all through the dining hall. Everyone had already stopped eating after Edwina shouted and now everyone was standing in shock. Lorelei's cheek reverberated with the pressure and she immediately placed her hand on the cheek as it had started tingling with burn.
"Butt out!" Edwina gritted her teeth.
"You little, ugly…" Lorelei's whole body started shaking with anger.
"Lorelei, stop!" shouted Rodion. "She is right, butt out. You don't know what we did. Her family, so many families died because we tried to show Seth leniency. Your uncle, Seth has killed so many people. We thought being a rogue might teach him some kind of lesson but instead, we learnt a lesson - Don't spare an infant killer. He was not a human after that, he was a monster and monsters deserved to be punished."
"Yes, Edwina, I am sorry, we are sorry. Please let me make it up to you. Let me teach you how to control your powers."
