Lilith POV:
"Lilith, when can we go see Wife? Did you ask Mother?" Grace's voice broke the silence beside me, quiet but filled with worry.
I turned my head to look at her. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I answered calmly, trying to keep my own frustration at bay.
"Grace… you know Mother isn't saying anything. And Mother Nyssa—she's disappeared. No one knows where she's ran."-
My gaze fell on Grace's face, and my heart tightened slightly. Her brows were drawn together, lips pressed in a thin line—clearly holding something back.
I furrowed my own brows and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Why do you look so worried, Grace?"
She hesitated, then slowly raised her head to meet my eyes.
My breath caught. Her eyes were red.
I moved without thinking, pulling her into a hug.
"What happened, little sister? Were you crying?" I whispered, voice tender.
She hugged me back tightly, her voice barely audible against my shoulder.
