Her gaze moved to Callum, and it did soften though she said nothing. In fact, she was silent, perhaps awkwardly so, until everyone was present in the room. [color=a187be]"I expect looks of shame on your faces and the beginnings of apologies being crafted in your minds as you stand here."[/color] Alibeth started off with absolutely no greeting for the imbeciles before her. She stepped forward as her eyes moved to the Sultan, [color=a187be]"However, Your Majesty Sultan Raif Kadir, I owe you more than one apology for what's happened. I will be allocating more of our guards to be used at your disposal in your estate and preparing gifts to remedy the atmosphere. No one will be allowed to leave the castle late at night without approval again. Everything will change from here on. This apology extends to the other noble parents present who had to worry about the location of their children last night."[/color] Her eyes flashed as she whirled back on the partygoers; however, she was not facing the Sultan's children. Her gaze moved from Anastasia to Callum, Zarai, Roman, and then Leo. They all knew better. [color=a187be]"You may want to protest and say to me now that you are not children. From where I stand, that does not appear so. As ladies and gentlemen of higher status, you know that a target is painted on your backs wherever you go. You put yourselves in danger without empathy towards your families or yourselves. "[/color] She lifted her chin to now look down on them with disdain, [color=a187be]"You also had no empathy for the Alidasht offspring, who put their trust in you and had no inkling of where they would end up. I am immensely disappointed and, as I am certain, are your parents."[/color] [color=a187be]"Now, more importantly, I demand to know whose party this was. We know that they are a criminal attempting to lure in nobles. There will be a handsome reward for whoever confesses this."[/color] Alibeth moved forward and snapped her fingers, [color=a187be]"However. I know you were all invited and led to the party by someone."[/color] Her gaze did not fall on anyone, and she simply folded her hands neatly as the brown-haired stable boy was dragged in by guards, his face bruised and his body limp. His shirt was ripped and if one looked closely, his back was scarred. Before anyone could react, there was then a sudden interruption. The huge door swung open loudly. [color=DDB775]"On behalf of!"[/color] King Edin's voice rang through the entrance hall. He leaned on his knees to huff. [color=DDB775]"On behalf of Prince Cal-"[/color]His head rose, and he met Alibeth's eyes. After sensing her displeasure in his sentence, he halted his words, simply straightening and walking to her side. [color=DDB775]"Did Callum apologize yet?"[/color]He whispered in her ear. Alibeth forced her husband a smile and merely continued, [color=a187be]"This is Darryn Fletcher. He is the stable boy who drove the carriage to the party. [i]Today, he will die for his crime[/i]."[/color]
