This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

(Just how did this happen?) thought Emore with a stern expression, as she looked around at the dishes and chairs upturned on the floor and then at Elizabeth and the other women who stepped back with looks of fear and shock on their faces, at her only remaining son Liam who, for some unknown reason was kneeling on the ground with a stiff expression on his face as he seemed to be struggling to stand up from the ground.

Then Emore finally lowered her eyes to look at the concentrated energy sword that was placed near her neck, and at Fray who was still sitting in his chair looking at herself with a calm face and a cold look in his eyes.

A few minutes ago

Fray was answering Nora's questions with strange spontaneity, surprising once again the people who knew Fray's personality with the slight changes that he had begun to show recently, which created a friendly atmosphere that made the awkward silent environment change into a lively atmosphere where the family members who had been silent before such as Elizabeth and Elissa and even Adam and Montaser, who was standing behind Fray as his servant, participated in the conversation spontaneously.

Nora Parada is one of the few members of the Parada family that Fray has a genuinely good feeling for. Although Fray did not have many experiences with her, the few memories he has of her are all favorable. She was the only one who did not treat Fray as a monster when he was young. Fray still remembers the first time she Talked to him, that clear gentle smile, that nostalgic voice, and that looks devoid of hidden intentions.

For some reason, after seeing those memories between his eyes, Fray felt, for an unknown reason, that he was unable to ignore Nora's curious questions, so he answered as best he could honestly to all her questions, which created some friendly aura in the air which made the rest of the family feel some comfort in such uncomfortable gathering where the family members gradually began to talk to each other comfortably.

"Haha, I'm sure the Queen was waiting to see you, it's a pity you couldn't go, haha." With a big smile on his face and a provocative look in his eyes said Adam as he looked at Montaser whose expression gradually started to get uncoftorbale as he listened to Adam's words.

"Lady. Elizabeth we haven't had a decent conversation for a long time how about we have a little tea party tomorrow to catch up?" Nora said in a gentle voice while looking at Elizabeth, before looking at Elissa who was sitting across from her, and continuing, "Elissa will join us as well."

"I visited that restaurant that we talked about recently. It has many new dishes thanks to the development of crops in the city. It is incredible." Mia said with a smile on her face, also immersed in talking with Mia who was her closest friend in the family.

Emore, who was watching these conversations, felt the fire of anger burning in her heart grow fiercer. How could she accept this, before she left, Emore had the biggest authority in the palace, and all the people in the palace were afraid of her and listened to her orders, but now since she came back, no one has given her any value, and they have not even welcomed her properly.

From the moment she returned to the mansion, she realized that Emore really had lost everything, her position, her goals, even her family, and the worst thing was that. Until now, she still does not know how that happened. She looked, asked, and lost a lot of money in searching for any evidence about the disappearance of her children and the rest family members before she arrived in the city, but to no avail. The outside world does not have any information about what happened, and now, after arriving at the palace, she found that no one wants to tell her too, even the people and the servants who were faithful and loyal to her and her family have disappeared because of the loyalty contract that Fray activate recently.

Emore, like all members of the Parada family, knows about the loyalty contract that gives Fray extraordinary control over all the family members, and she also knows that Montaser, who is considered the strongest member of the Parada family, also supports Fray, so of course, Emore and her son Liam have realized that they have to deal with this situation very carefully At least for the time being, but bewilderment, sadness, despair, anger all these feelings really made Emore's thinking unbalanced and now, after seeing the friendly atmosphere the family members were in and the way she and her son were ignored, Emore found it hard to control herself any longer.

"How could you... How could you be like this?"

Suddenly interrupting the peaceful atmosphere that everyone was in, a heavy and angry pressure emanated, which made all of them stop their conversations and look with different expressions in one direction, towards Emore who started to mutter in a low voice and an angry expression, "How can you talk so happily, after all, that happened in the family ?"

"M-om..." Liam who was sitting next to Emore muttered in a broken voice as he looked at his mom's face which had a completely crazy expression on it.

"Answer me, how did you become the head of the family, and how the hell did my children die without leaving a trace?" As she looked at Fray's cold, indifferent expression, Emore's low voice and the pressure she released began to grow stronger, angrier, and more ferocious.

(it's so heavy... I can't even lift my head because of the pressure... It looks like she's broken through to the seventh kingdom) Nora thought, biting her teeth hard to bear the pressure.

"..." Fray

"Answer me, you bastard, answer me? Everyone was so afraid of you that they refused to tell me what happened... I know that you know what happened Answer me, how was behind the death of my children and how the hell did you survive the attack that not even the head of the family could survive from? ANSWER ME.." Emore screamed even louder, losing control of herself completely
