“What is the nature of your relationship with Queen Bette?”  Weezy snickered as she asked.

“I am in love with Bette Porter and we have share a child together, they are my family” Tina didn’t miss a beat.  She looked around the half-circle table at each member, staring them square in the eyes ending her gaze and sentence on Queen Helena.  She was holding nothing back.  If they want the truth, then they shall have it.

“Did you have sex?”  Weezy pretended to hold back a chuckle but wanted to get the point across.

“Do not answer that” Queen Helena interrupted as she reprimanded Weezy with a warning stare.  “Tina” she looked at the blonde, “do you know who taught Queen Bette our orb forming technique?”

Tina was going to answer when the chamber doors burst opened and Bette followed by her best guards stepped into the chamber.

“This is a closed meeting!”  Franklin stood up from his seat, “Guards seize them!”

“Tell your men to stand down Helena, there may be only ten of us but we can a lot more damage” Bette looked at Helena in the eyes as her nine soldiers took a fighting stance.  “Besides” she smiled at her old nemesis “we come in peace.”

“Stand down” Queen Helena ordered.

“Your majesty this is private meeting for the Milagroso only” Franklin protested.  Unable to hide his dislike for Queen Bette, he looked the Muerte Segurans up and down.

“You want answers, I’m here to give it but first” Bette looked at Tina, “you let her go.”

“You can’t come in here and tell us what to do!”  Weezy stood up as well and looked at Queen Bette and then back to Queen Helena.  “She’s not our queen.”

“She’s not telling anyone what to do” Queen Helena wanted to keep some air of power in the chamber.  It amazed her how Bette could walk into her kingdom and take that away.  She will not have it.  “I will release her on the condition that stand in her place and address the council.”

“Agree” Queen Bette replied without hesitation.

“Wait Queen Bette I must object” Tina tried to protest but Bette opened the box door and gently pulled her love out.  Tina tried to stiffen her stance to keep from moving but Bette wouldn’t have it.
