The Queen They Buried

“This isn’t just some random gossip! I went to confront Samuel myself. He’s never been able to lie, not since we were kids. With how he acted, you could tell he was hiding something. This isn’t just some baseless rumor!”

“That’s enough!” David snapped. “We have guests here. Do you think this is how you should act?”

Millie relectuantly gave in under her father’s stern gaze, her head hanging low. “Alright,” she sighed.

David’s tone softened as he reassured, “I’ll talk to the village chief about this when I get a chance.”

That reassurance finally made Millie feel a little less upset.

However, she didn’t feel like eating at all. Glancing at the dishes on the table, she stated, “I’ve no appetite so I’ll just go upstairs.”

For once, David didn’t reprimand her for her manners, and he told Jillian to bring some food up to her room.

“Sorry you had to witness our family drama. I only have these two kids, and they’re not exactly making me proud. I guess I just have to worry them a bit more,” David said.

The meal wasn’t exactly relaxing.

When it was time to leave, David personally walked them out. He stated, I’ll treat you all to another meal after we finalize the fruit business.
