Willow looked at Ezra, calming herself down.
"Haha."
She let out a slight laugh, a simple smile appearing on her face.
"I think I now understand why Vera said she loves your beautiful mind."
She said calmly.
Ezra didn't immediately respond.
Willow had just explained the situation within House Derlis, including Lucien's influence over Desmond and the incidents that had been covered up.
Yet Ezra's reaction had been much calmer than she might have expected from someone hearing such things for the first time.
Perhaps that was what Vera had meant.
"I did tell them, and it was just as you said."
Willow continued, looking down at the table between them.
She rested her hands on her lap before continuing her explanation.
"But the Grand Elder and some of the High-Board members later stopped supporting him after I made my stance clear that I wanted to fight for the position of Lord. Even Mother accepted my decision."
She paused briefly.
