Idle Talk

Darshee silently left the table after eating her breakfast with her mother. She couldn't stand to stay in the same room with her for no longer than a meal.

After the confrontation at the Palace, her mother, Lady Eirina, and her uncle, General Pho, gave her an earful of nagging that seemed to never end.

At first, she put up with it. Ultimately, it had been partly her fault for going about the situation all wrong. She should have found a way to meet with his majesty alone, or snuck into his bedroom. That way that pesky female and her sister wouldn't have ruined her plans.

However, despite putting up with their complaints for days, her mother and uncle wanted to take it a step further and punish her with confinement.

If his majesty didn't even want to punish me, how could they? She thought.

Nonetheless, Darshee had underestimated how furious her mother and uncle were at her at.
