Princess Olivia stood before the women with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She saw Madeline's figure stiffen at the sight of her. Adele on the other hand trembled with anger as she hadn't expected Eris to bring her step-daughter here.
"What is the meaning of this, Eris!?" The consort questioned, her words sharp.
"Show some respect." Eris drawled, throwing her head back as she relished in the reaction she got from them.
A great repulsion ran through his veins as he stared at the woman that looked like his Olivia but wasn't her. He didn't know when his demon awakened so he threw himself forward at a great speed no one expected.
Madeline was no longer a tree. Her anger evaporated completely seeing how Reginald pinned Olivia to the floor, his hand squeezing her neck the threateningly.
"How dare you..." His voice came out in short, trembling bursts as he controlled his cooking anger.
