"Where is Lucien?" There was a shadow hiding Yllana's face. And her voice was solemn and cold.
Theoden was about to approach her seeing she had cuts and bruises all over her when she raised her hand and stopped him.
"What happened? Where did the emperor take you?" Yrah asked not knowing that Yllana's mood was a bit off. Hearing no answer from her sister, Yrah took a deep breath. "Yana, take a rest first. You must be tired. Lucien locked himself in his room. It is beside yours."
"I will. This is Kheera, Princess Blanche sent her. And Imari, her sister abducted by the emperor." she was too tired to explain anymore. From the miserable way they look and their almost depleted life forces, nobody dared to urge them to tell the story.
