Chapter 123 Why Else?

• Watching Lancelot stroll in with the human woman in his arms, with no regards for any of them; not his father, not his mother, not his family, not even him - Garrett - or Ava his daughter, infuriated the head of the council in ways he never even thought possible. He strolled past them with confidence, as though he were not committing a sin, a taboo!
• His eyes darkened on the young man, and did not leave him until Lancelot was out of their sight, before he turned to his daughter. Ava stood, visibly shaking. Garrett said nothing, he only stared at her and watched as she stood helpless and hopeless. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Madeline and Edward rush up the stairs, maybe to question their son. But, Garrett had lost faith in both of them, it was time to take matters into his own hands.
• He took steps towards his daughter and dragged her by her hand, not caring who was looking, and led her out of the palace. Ava was stunned by her father's reaction, but even more stunned by Lancelot's audacity. The way he had walked into the palace...the palace! With that woman in his arms, without caring how she felt, or how her father would feel. Lancelot was far gone, too far gone.
