Chapter - 48
"It was the Lord's daughter! She did it!"
"Lady Aliana did it!"
The smoke burned Seraphine's eyes, but she didn't look away. She stared straight at the dead bodies of the two people she loved the most laid out on the mats.
Old Tom stood beside her, his voice cracked as he spoke, every word forced through grief and terror.
"I… I tried to stop them, girl… I swear I tried…"
Seraphine didn't look like she was listening to him.
"What happened here?" She asked, not tearing her gaze away from Elara and Finn.
Old Tom began telling her the details.

One by one, he placed the wild boar smoked jerky, Star Leaf, Iron root herbs, Blood fur Rabbit pelts, and a bunch of other stuff to sell.
