Lady Thomas's mind was full of such scary thoughts, and it scared her that she couldn't do anything. If this ghost wanted her life and her family, they would all die and no one would even understand anything that happened after that.
From Calista's ways of doing things, she could tell that she wanted her to suffer but didn't want to take their lives. Which was better, as her children and acquaintances could find a means to stop whatever was coming by any means necessary.
Even if they got punished by the Royal guards, they wouldn't all die. After all, they didn't commit treason, so their crimes wouldn't be too heavy. However, this ghost, she wasn't certain. It looked eerie, and she had a very bad feeling.
And her instincts were on point as she heard a voice ringing in her ears the very next second.
"Old lady, my child is very merciful, but I am not. Do you want to plead for your family?"
