Too Calm

Queen Mako bowed her head, folding her hands in front of her, "Thank you, your highness."

"Don't thank me yet, Mako. Do you think by letting them go, all this will come to an end? AJ and Amelia will return to Leland and let us live in peace, hmm? What are your thoughts on this, my queen?"

The Queen remained silent. She did not have to be a genius to know the answer to that. Truth was that she had not thought so far out. She bit her tongue and looked at AJ and Amy who were being held back by the soldiers.

King Adulya laughed at that," See this, my queen. This is why I have always kept you by my side. You are very naive. These people whom you are helping to escape, begging me here on your knees to spare them, can't give you word that they will not attack you. They cannot promise you that if I spare their life today, they will spare mine tomorrow."

"Your majesty! You say that I am naive so forgive me for my ignorance. But tell me one thing."
