"Demon Lord!" Corina Sutton saw Seraphina Ashworth emerge and called out respectfully.
"What happened to my mother?" Seraphina Ashworth's gaze was dark and unreadable, the cold words slipping from her lips.
Corina Sutton's expression tensed. She quickly explained, "Your mother was at The Brocade Pavilion picking out clothes when Gemma Montague of the Montague Family took a liking to the same dress. Later, Gemma and her companions started bad-mouthing you, Demon Lord. An argument broke out. There were six people in their group, and when your mother wasn't looking, one of them shoved her. They're still in a standoff there now."
"How is my mother now?" Seraphina Ashworth's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them. 'The Montague Family... how bold of them!'
"The Lady is fine, mostly. She just has a bit of a bruise on her arm." Corina Sutton answered quickly. Seeing the dark look on her Demon Lord's face, she wished she could turn and flee.
"You are dismissed."
