As Leah sat frozen, Lady Mirael spoke desperately.

“Your Majesty!” She pleaded, her voice squeaking with distress. “Its a misunderstanding…aghh!”

She didnt have a chance to protest further. Blain clutched her hair and threw her to the ground. Even as she looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, his gaze remained cold.

“A vulgar bitch who knows nothing…” His leather-gloved hand lifted, and Leah leapt to her feet.

“Please, stop!” She screamed. As Blain turned slowly toward her, she hurried around the desk and caught his arm. “I think thats enough.”

His reaction seemed so excessive to her, and she wished he wouldnt be so violent. And especially that he would correct the bad habit of slapping with those hard hands. But Blain ignored her and only stomped down on Lady Miraels hand with his foot, making her cry out in pain.

“Please, dont!” Leah protested, and he looked at her with rage.

“How long has this bitch been doing this?”

The way he was grinding Lady Miraels hand underfoot made Leah angry. She couldnt understand why he behaved this way, but she was tired of it. And maybe it was simple self-defense. She knew that at any moment, Blain could turn on her and treat her just as poorly. The thin threads of her control snapped.

“Youre the one who caused this,” she said impulsively. It was Blains poor treatment of Leah that made Lady Mirael think she could get away with behaving so disrespectfully. None of this would have happened if he hadnt taken a consort.

Blains eyes narrowed as he looked at Leah, and his jaw clenched tight.

“…everyone out.” At first, no one moved. Her ladies-in-waiting were too frightened to understand what he meant, and Blain muttered a curse and shouted. “Everyone get out now!!!”
