Lilith swallowed hard, her fists curling into tight balls as she pushed the food around her plate. Her appetite had long vanished. Thankfully, the prince didn't attempt to touch her again.
Soon after, Kathryn finished her meal and politely excused herself. Charlotte and Viktor followed, leaving Lilith alone with Hades in the dining room. She set down her cutlery, wiped her lips with a napkin, and rose from her seat.
She was halfway to the door when his voice stopped her.
"Where are you going?"
Lilith turned back, glaring. "I'm full. I wish to return to my chamber… to sleep."
Hades' gaze drifted from her face to the barely touched food on her plate. "You barely ate. How can you be full?"
Her frown deepened. "I lost my appetite. And I wonder whose fault that is."
He leaned back in his chair, slowly wiping his mouth with a napkin, then spoke with deliberate calm. "Do tell. Whose fault is it?"
"Yours," she snapped. "You nearly made me choke. I could have died."
