GENERAL POV
Lily's face fell from the impact of Aurora's words, and Xaden's face was thunderous.
Aurora saw that she had crossed a huge line and adjusted.
"I mean." Aurora cleared her throat. "I just had quite a busy day fighting off some rogue packs."
Lily smiled as she bit down on her lamb. "I quite understand you. You are doing quite a good job yourself. I dare say I admire you. I can not fight."
"Oh really," Aurora said, raising a brow. "And yet you remained hidden for a very long time without anyone taking note of you."
Lily managed a smile. "It was not the best time. We had guards, and the rest of us who escaped were well-equipped to handle any future problems. Well, except for me. I barely made any such contributions. I grew up there and had to learn how to do womanly duties. I wish I knew how to fight."
"Lily did more than enough." Uther chipped in as he bit down on his chicken leg. "She took care of us, and it was lovely seeing her grow from a child into a woman."
