Akila,
She stood in a corner watching all these people laugh and converse. She watched them closely.
Who was honestly loyal to Annipe and who was not? Which one of these smiles and small gestures was true and which one was hypocritical?
She tried to watch all these familiar and even new faces, studying them and observing them very closely.
"Why are you standing alone, your ladyship?"
The king from beyond the sea asked and Akila looked at him impassively and then turned the other way.
"You can't ignore me forever, cousin. I'm here for you, after all."
Artem said, and Akila suppressed an annoyed growl. If the male was trying to get on her nerves, then he was succeeding.
"There is nothing between us to discuss, nor do I appreciate your presence here. King Artem."
The second queen snarled softly, trying not to catch anyone's attention.
