If Liliana had her way, their father would live to be positively ancient. Even with her married. Gifts sent her way, and someone to complain to if her husband became a pain - for surely he understood what that felt like - was her goal in life. Cad was a damn threat. If she had it her way, she would have likely killed him in his sleep. At least the younger boy was tolerable, if unpleasant to look at. He would likely follow like a pathetic puppy.

Liliana strained to keep the laugh in her throat lady-like, but she managed with grace. "It's only for the foul intent. If a maid wanted to steal from a Selwyn then they should rightfully be hexed. As should you if you were to mess with my things. Father would happily stand by me on the matter." And their father likely would, and Cad knew that, she was sure. "And I am a respectable young lady. Father would have no less under his roof. Which is why no male should be in my room in the first place."

"No, and don't you dare disrespect nobility."
