Lizzie's remark about Antonin seeming to be more sad than scary bothered her tremendously. Another had only recently made a similar statement about the man she was ordered to marry. Thorfinn at least had some semblance of an agenda to tell her that lie. What was Lizzie Jordan's motivation? Why would she need to make up a story about the night they were supposedly visited? It didn't make any sense. Antonin was a brutal man who cared nothing about human life. There was nothing he wouldn't do, no low he wouldn't stoop to, if it meant he could get what he wanted.
