Brie looked at her crying assistant. She saw the absolute terror in the young girl's eyes.
Brie quickly raised her heavily bandaged hands. She signaled for her to calm down immediately, shushing her quietly so the guards outside would not hear the panic.
Brie's mind worked quickly. She looked at the broken object on the floor. Then, she slowly lifted her eyes and looked directly at Camilla, who was standing quietly near the desk, looking completely calm.
A very dark, evil plan formed inside Brie's mind. This was her perfect chance. She could completely destroy this arrogant noblewoman once and for all. If the Lady was blamed for breaking the King's gift, the General would definitely deal with her. It was a two against one confession. He would surely believe them.
Brie stepped slightly in front of Mildred, protecting her assistant. She turned her full, angry attention to Camilla.
Brie stood up very straight. She put on a face of absolute, righteous fury.
