He knew that Zorion wouldn't tell him the truth.
"Alright. You should go to sleep then Zorion."
Zorion turned around and left, but Tremaine hadn't moved.
His face was cold and hard.
It felt colder than the winter wind that was blowing.
Everything Zorion told him tonight was Yuliana's doing.
On top of that, it would be blindingly obvious if Zorion was tired from the cold, but Yuliana made him stay up late just to do this.
The reason she made Zorion do this was to simply enforce her position by also making him lower his guard.
She was afraid now that he knew that she had planned to kill Ruth. She would be terrified of the possibility of losing her position in the Quartley Palace. She might even get kicked out one day.
She had to prove her value to continue staying here.
And her value depended on Zorion.
Tremaine frowned.
This problem was like a complicated knot.
Yuliana wasn't just fierce but exceptionally narrowminded.
For Zorion's sake, he didn't throw Yuliana in jail. Instead he offered her a second chance and gave her a warning. He wanted her to have a fresh start with Zorion.
But to his disappointment, she had only started back on her old tricks again instead of making an effort to do better.
What disappointed him the most was that in her goal to solidify her position, she had completely ignored her husband's wellbeing.
Yuliana didn't love his brother at all!
After he had learned that Yuliana had planned to kill Ruth, Tremaine pondered if she was a good match for Zorion.
That was why on the day that Ruth gave birth to her baby, he forced Zorion to make a choice.
He actually hoped that Zorion would choose Ruth.
Even though Ruth was from a much humbler family, she was much better behaved than Yuliana.
Unfortunately, Zorion still chose Yuliana.
For Zorion's sake, Tremaine had forgiven Yuliana.
