Chapter 161

• No one said anything for some time, not just because Amelia was right, but because no one expected her to still have some fight left in her. The councilmen and women glanced at each other, all not liking how the situation was going.
• Shawn stood by Amelia’s side; it was obvious by his stance that he was supporting Amelia, and the council could not avoid the fact that, after all, no one wanted to get on bad terms with the Shadow Lord.
• “You can call it whatever you want, but we all know that it was not allegations, after all. Why did you wait until you were pregnant before striking? Why didn’t you hurt Prince Cody all those years ago? It’s simple because you have nothing to replace him with. Your pregnancy is only a month old, but you have already concocted such an evil plan against a child who just turned five years old. How wicked is your heart? Aren’t you a mother? How could you have the heart to hurt that little boy who always followed you around and called you mom?” A councilwoman asked, her eyes blaring with fury.
