Hi There,
Here's Chapter 18 and it is dedicated to @HinaKiyoMyCats :D
ALSO, PLEASE READ THE NOTE AT THE END!

MILK:
Cow's milk is something that is a daily must-have for many people all over the world. Milk is good for bones and teeth as it is a high source of calcium and potassium. Drinking milk makes one feel fuller and keeps the appetite in control.
Raw milk can be be used as a body cleanser and when mixed with honey, it can be used as an exfoliating scrub that can get rid of clogged pores. It also acts as a moisturizer that can soften skin and remove dry, flaky skin.
It is recommended to drink at least a glass of milk daily and not more because it's not good for some people especially those who have lactose intolerance.

CHAPTER 18 – PURE SOUL
Queen Rhonwen stared at the thief, trembling in his seat, and smirked, slow and predatory.
Pete's eyes rounded in horror as she took another step closer to him.
She smelled his fear and she liked it. He had been sitting there for the past twenty minutes and blatantly lying to Ari's face. He thought he could get away with killing two fairies and a human, sharing a false sob story.
She wanted to roll her eyes. He was not the first thief she had come across and neither was he the first liar.
It had been difficult to simply lie in the darkness and listen to him shamelessly lying and claiming his innocence. Unluckily for Pete, Ari had been on to him from the start and simply played along.
There was a common trait among liars. They never owned up to their wrongs. They always blamed some external factor and Pete had done the same.
She could see him mentally evaluating every single thing he told just a while back because he was now standing in front of the queen.
"And yet, you stole from me?" Ronnie demanded, raising one perfectly arched black brow.
"I... I..." Pete gasped, unable to give a proper reply.
Ronnie sighed and then folding her wings back in, she gracefully moved on to sit on the chair that Ari had vacated.
"Do not fear. I assure you I am not as bad as the stories you have heard of me" Ronnie said quietly, placing her hands on her lap. "I am worse" she smiled and watched as the colour drained from Pete's face.
"But I admit, it depends on how bad the one opposing me is" she added graciously and Pete's shoulders slumped. "So, do you admit that everything you shared with Aristandros just now, was the absolute truth?" Ronnie looked him in the eye and asked that question.
She wanted him to lie. She wanted to trick him and watch as he trembled, trapped in his lies.
"I... Yes, my queen" Pete lowered his head and Ronnie nodded once, before looking at Ari. He gestured the warriors and they placed a set of papers in front of her. She picked the first one and read the subject of the document.
She had thoroughly read everything two days ago and she knew more about the thief than she liked to admit.
"Your wife claimed she first caught you cheating four years ago. You begged it wouldn't happen again and she forgave you, believing you had learnt your lesson" Ronnie said smoothly and kept the paper aside.
