"Do you know what has been going on since you left?" I asked, and Katarina nodded.
"You fought a monster, rescued The Lich Queen, Morgana, and now all the women from the wall are home. Very impressive, and you will be paid well for your services, but I don't understand why I am here?"
"Why and who detained you before?" I asked.
"Melrose locked me in a waiting room the moment that I reached the court. I was going there to talk to them about giving the Easterners back the place where they have always lived. Before I was allowed to say anything, I was grabbed by guards and escorted to a waiting room, where I was left until this morning. After that, I was sent back, in cuffs, with an escort. Truly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life," Katarina explained, and I nodded.
"I am sorry for that, but I am not sure why the Peekaans would lock you up," I said, and Katarina shrugged.
