The seventh guardian

Aria sighed "Lucius is not bad father, I know him too well"

"Just be careful, Aria"

"You've never doubted him all these years father, why now?" she was annoyed

"Cos you did something you've never done, you disobeyed Aria" Leonidas said sternly

"I'm sorry" she put down her head

Sean entered into the room alongside Ellery

"Why barge into my room, Sean?"

"My apologies, father"

"Why is Ellery here?" Aria asked curiously when she saw her maid looking all nervous and looking to the ground

"She is a traitor, Kneel ! " Sean commanded turning to Ellery

"You can't punish my maid, Sean"Aria was pissed

Even though her brother was the most protective, he has no right to punish the maids that was with her since she was a child

"Do not call her your maid, Aria, I said she is a traitor ! "

"What has she done?" Leonidas who has been quiet asked

"Let her confess herself father" Sean bowed

Ellery walked slowly to the front sobbing as she went on her knees. Before she could say anything, Aria walked towards her crouching to her level

"Ellery look at me, you did nothing right?" She had a feeling that her maid really did something abominable or Sean won't act like that...

"I'm.. sorry, my..lady" Ellery whispered regrettably

"What are you sorry about? You did nothing wrong, Ellery"

"Aria, please allow her to confess her sins...look at this" Sean threw a white envelope filled with something poelwdery to the ground

Ellery teared up loudly looking at what Sean threw

"Stop the crocodile tears, you traitor"

"Sean ! You don't do things like that" Leonidas cautioned

"I never wanted to do it...I..never wanted to" Ellery cried shaking her head

"Explain all these clearly" Leonidas commanded

"She didn't do anything father"

"Aria, move away from her"

"Father...."

"Aria, listen to me"
