Chapter 25 - All The Same

"Anything," Gwen spoke up before she could go on. "Selected limited things, my Lady."

Zezi's spirit dropped at that.

"Fine, great." She replied flatly. "Can you take me to the King then?"

"There is an order that you must not step out of this room."

"Can you please tell the King that I want to see him?" She asked with a sigh of defeat, her heart filled with a certain bitterness at that.

Gwen smiled sympathetically.

"Is there anything else that I can do for you, Milady?"

Zezi frowned at her question.

What was that supposed to mean?

"You can't send my message to the King?"

"The King does not want to see you, Milady. Even if I deliver your message, which I definitely cannot do directly to him, it would have to go through Lady Laura--"

"Nevermind."

Laura.
