Not long after, everyone asked for had gathered in the throne room, the children and the other wives were all there.
They stood or sat around the large chamber with confused and uneasy expressions, having no idea why they had been summoned so suddenly.
One of the wives then asked "Lilinlea, why did you call us all here? … Are you trying to make our Lord displeased again?"
Lilinlea said quietly, "That is not our lord."
The room fell silent and every face turned toward her with a look of surprise.
Lilinlea looked around at all of them before continuing. "Listen to me, every one of you. I know what I'm about to say isn't going to sound true."
"But every single one of you is under the influence of that man's magic."
Confusion spread through the room.
"The man we believe is our husband, your father, Lord Krygon…" Lilinlea paused. "He isn't who he claims to be."
"He is Izzgur Azazel. An imposter."
