Elias would cut off his arm before he would hurt Adeline. Why would Lydia hurt her like that? Those jerks tortured her from the time she was ten years old! One physically and the other mentally! Then tried to manipulate her into giving up everything her parents left her! They don’t deserve a tear shed for them!
a lot of people blame Lydia for telling Adeline about marden's death. but this is what true freinds do for each other! sharing the truth and not hiding the matters which are important for you, even if knowing the truth is going to hurt. I just wish Elias stop viewing her as a child who need protection from everyone and everywhere. the Queen needs to lead not to hide or be hidden.
