Legend of Shaoghal Diverging Periods

Vana looked at the knight with immense displeased. How can this knight ever disrespect her? How can she have such audacity to talk to a Queen like that, Vanameryth thought to herself.

”You think I don know that? ” Queen Vana said and stood from her seat.

”You think the only reason why I don want to do this is that I can possibly hurt my brothers? You are right Ryvna. My father warned me about this, and he doesn want us to turn our backs on each other despite letting us fight for territories, its ridiculous yes — but is that the only thing that I can come up to? I did not claim victory over this land for nothing. ”

The Queen took a deep breath and continued while Ryvna is already feeling remorse as she held her hand into a fist and her lips lightly curled inward.

”You have underestimated me. ” The Queen beamed unhappy with her gaze.

”My brothers are raging war at me. They pick petty fights all these years because they want me to be angry and concede to their bigger plan. As much as I don want to fight back — I can never. ” The Queen said as her voice were decreasing as she goes.

She calmed down, walked into the window a few inches beside her table, and looked over at the gloomy night.

”I went to their castles and visited some of their towns. Along the way, I saw symbols marked on woods and some houses. I even glanced at a vase in the palace of Takèif with the same symbol I saw in a portrait in the palace of Xuediv… I don know what those symbols mean, but one thing is for sure, they have already conspired with each other. With the demeanor Ive faced when I went there is… uncanny. ”

Silence then deafened Ryvna. Its only going to be a matter of time before the whole kingdom knows the mistake of the lady knight.

”You should have… told me. ” Ryvna stuttered as she finally uttered some words for a while.

”Told you? ” The Queen looked at her with a questioning smile. Seems like knights these days are doing things on their own now. A ridiculous thing to the queen.

”What reason would I have to tell you? I make decisions with my council and pass orders to you. What you do is executant Ryvna. I know we grew up together but I am your Queen. Now halt your plan. ”
