Chapter 312: The inner tribe
[FOX TRIBE]
Lexi walked into her mother’s chambers, "You called mother?"
An older woman with features similar to Lexi’s turned back after she completed placing the last scroll in the wooden holder. Lexi was not surprised. Her mother loved reading old scrolls. Although there was a common written language in the beast city, their fox tribe had their own way of keeping records. It helped to maintain secrecy. Only Fox royals and some chosen witch masters were privy to these ledgers.
"You only come when I call for you," said the older woman.
Lexi frowned at those words, "I’m sorry Mother, I didn’t realize that you were lonely. I’ll visit more often"
"I’m hardly lonely with all these scrolls to read" Her Mother dismissed her daughter’s placating words, "But that is not the problem, Lexi. It is your actions that have left me worried. You stop facing me when you do something wrong"
Lexi felt like she was hit with a blunt weapon on her head as her mother added, "What did you do, Lexi?"
She swallowed, "I have done nothing, Mother" There were many blunders that she had committed after coming back to the Fox tribe. She didn’t want to admit to things when she was not even sure what her mother was talking about.
"Lexi" Queen Sarah cautioned her daughter, "I know when you are lying. His Majesty’s aide, what you did to him was horrible" When she had heard about strays infiltrating the tribe, she was left shaken. But knowing that no one from her tribe got hurt, she relaxed. That peace though didn’t last long. Soon after that attack, she heard about Xavier’s aid getting detained as a traitor. At this point, an investigation was due.
