Khal sat in his chair with a dumbfounded complexion, his eyes shifting between Hale's and the old lady's figure from time to time, who turned out to be called Zinnia and was someone who knew Hale and even made a deal with him!
Did he hear it right or was what he heard just a hallucination? Did Hale, the supreme leader, and ruler of all the Seven Realms ask his opinion?
Why? Why did he, someone with the power to obligate anything and everything with simple gestures ask for his judgment? Although he possessed great strength, one that no one could rival in the Second Realm and even a few in the Third Realm, he was not invincible and he was just a mere speck of dust in the universe.
So why did Hale all of a sudden ask him if he should kill Zinnia or leave her alive? This made no sense to him!
