“The mistake was mine, not aware of surroundings I stumbled downhill causing injury.” Walking towards her now standing directly in front of her she quickly threw her hands up defensively protecting her face.

“If desire is to inflict further harm or still life may I ask it be swift.” Moving her hands with her finger she places it under her chin lifting her face forcing her to meet her gaze. Aside from the words spoken her eyes told of a different story, whoever was responsible for her injuries had instilled fear in her preventing her from speaking the truth. She knew she spoke with false tongue and decided not to press further. Before stilling the lives of her enemies both past and present all had welcomed a warriors death. Never begging for their lives or shedding a tear they accepted their fate with honor. Standing before her was a queen, not just any queen but thee queen overseer and ruler of their world beaten, bruised, terrified, and shedding tears uncontrollably. Kai woman at an early age were taught to suppress their emotions. Continuing to stare into her eyes Jaeil was in amazement as she never knew such emotion existed in a woman. Lowing her chin she takes a few steps back away from her.

“I am not welcomed here message well understood, “she says finding what little voice she held staring at the ground.

“I gave command to all you were not to be harmed.”

“Command seems to fade from memory if it had not been for Ate I would have been greeted by my mother and sisters in the afterlife.”

“Ate, how did you cross paths?”

“I do not know, I awoke under the care of Sammaria with Ate at the door it was through Sammaria I was informed she bought me here.”

“You will not give name why?”

“It was dark, “she lied once again, “Eyes failed to adjust who stood in front of me.” Although she gave her best effort to sound convincing Jaeil stood no fool. No one had dared defy any command she had given with the exception of herself and Maru no one knew of her true identity. A defiant citizen, Ate remaining at her side, her odd behavior, the future queen brutality attacked, nothing compared to the tongue lashing she were to receive once she revealed truth to Maru.
