Helanie:
"The weapon found had Norman's fingerprints on it, and his DNA was all over the crime scene as well," Lord McQuoid explained to me while his sons stayed on the call with the council heads. Emmet was standing among the warriors with Norman in our bedroom.
I was asked to wait for Norman outside in the living room while they discussed the issues in there.
My mother stood beside Lord McQuoid, always silent, like a shadow.
"So? They're going to arrest him for it? Let's just say, even if Norman did do it, why would they arrest him for killing a scumbag like him? Zellu confessed to murdering his sister. Doesn't that count as guilty and worthy of the death penalty?" I was rambling, but also listening to my faint heartbeat.
"But I know Norman didn't do it," I added quickly. Charlotte had a weird look on her face as she stood in the corner with her arms folded over her chest. Her mother, as always, stood with her like a statue.
