Negotiations

Out of all the words to come out of Lady Delju's mouth to explain her apprehension towards returning to the clan, these were not the ones Kamryn expected to hear.

"What...What do you mean?" She stared at her former stepmother as if she was looking at a stranger.

Lady Delju looked as if she was about to have a mental breakdown. She pulled at her hair and clothes, making them disordered before grabbing Kamryn's arms.

"Your father won't forgive me...unless…" Delju looked at the bag on Kamryn's shoulders as if in a trance. "...I have something he needs."

Kamryn was scared. If she had known that Lady Delju was in this much of a bad situation with her father, she wouldn't had brought her along with her.

"I can't give you this chest…"

Lady Delju's eyes bulge with fire as Kamryn deny her hopes. She was about to snatch the bag from the younger female's shoulders when Kamryn continued.
