Chapter 222
Lilian looked out the window of the carriage soldiers forced into her. She hadn’t said a word since they stormed her father’s home, brutally killing him before her eyes and dragging her out to return to the palace.
She was worried about her children. James should not have listened to Kiara and sent her from the palace. She couldn’t trust James to protect her children.
’Are they safe?’ Lilian wondered, having a bad feeling she tried hard to ignore.
Lilian didn’t love anyone more than she loved her children. She was concerned about Kiara being surrounded by so many men even though Kiara had turned on her. Kiara was still her daughter so Lilian would have love in her heart for Kiara.
Lilian was most concerned for Henry. Would they be so kind as to spare Henry and just kill James?
"My son," Lilian touched her chest.
She could accept James’s death but not her son.
Lilian’s nervousness grew the more guards she saw walking around the town. It wasn’t like this the day James had sent her off. She knew it couldn’t be that James had sent her off because he knew a war was coming. James would have saved Kiara and then fled until the fight was over.
Lilian had been living in bliss for the last two days not knowing that her kingdom was lost to the hands of Zayne and his soldiers. If Kiara had listened to what she was told and gotten Zayne to fall in love with her, they could have avoided this but Lilian wasn’t confident Kiara would spare her brothers.
Lilian’s thoughts went to the state of her children’s relationships with each other. She couldn’t count on them to not argue with each other and try to find a way out. They were at each other’s necks with daggers ready to stab them.
"Where did I go wrong?" Lilian wondered, not understanding their hatred toward each other when she had showered each with love.
