“Do not bow before me, “she says grabbing her arm lifting her back to her feet. The blood from her hand was too much to contain and it begin slowly seeping from her hand onto to her gown. Just standing in front of her Jaeil could see her entire body tremble and her refusal to make eye contact with her, it was clear Alice feared her. Without saying another word to her Jaeil walks away from her back inside.

“Sammaria, “she nods her head to her while passing towards the exit in acknowledgement Sammaria bows her head in return. Walking outside she sees Selene awaiting her grabbing the reigns she mounts her stallion. While awaiting for Jaeil to arrive Selene was boiling on the inside, she knew in expressing her disdain she would have to choose her words wisely. 

“In the presence of a stranger you chastise me as if I were a child!”

“Your behavior was irrational and unprovoked.”

“You’ve stilled the lives of many for the doing the same, “she says raising her voice. Her tone caused Jaeil to stare at her, suggesting it would be wise to still her tongue.

“You are in no position to question my command nor entitled to reason.”

“Apologies as it is not my intent to do neither.”

“Then what is?”

“It’s been days since your return yet you still give no reason as to why you bought her here?” Selene with each word that flowed from her tongue pressed upon her position, however she expressed what had been on the minds of all since she arrived home.

“Which is none of your concern, “she says speaking in a tone letting Selene know she was clearly irritated.

“It is the concern of all by bringing a stranger into the city you put us all at risk——-.”

“Hold fucking tongue, “Jaeil yells the tone of her voice and the swelling of her chest confirmed Selene had overstepped her bounds, “Our people are far from the threat of death to suggest otherwise reveals hidden purpose to question my judgement! Your opinion as well as the others is of no concern to me, press me again and see given another lesson in obedience, “she says before kicking her stallion into a full gallop. Selene all too familiar with the lesson in question does as commanded riding behind her in silence.
