166 Let's Do It

By the time Rukelion finished his little speech, he was hysterically laughing but Juliet could detect some sobs mixed in as well. He was beginning to lose it, which could be good news for them.

She was about to whisper as much to Alec when she saw the look on Demetria's face. Oh. Right. What he said at the beginning about her cousin. 

She was normally so detached from things but right now she was burning with icy rage. Her balled fists trembled and tears sparked in the corners of her eyes but she didn't say anything. In a moment of unusual compassion, Nico laid a hand on her shoulder to try and ground her. 

Juliet couldn't focus on what Rukelion and Daisy were saying anymore because she was more preoccupied with the girl in front of her looking like she wanted to burst in there and attack. Which would not end well for any of them.
