After the execution concludes the crowd gets dispersed.
Not in a forceful manner, but in a way that it’s clear they aren't needed or supposed to struggle here any longer.
I, on the other side, feel exhausted.
This is probably going to weigh forever on my mind.
While only a minor inconvenience, I'm now faced with the issue that I need to get back up to the others since I neither want to disturb Uma nor have any desire to ask her to lift up again.
I don’t want to walk all the way through the palace halls.
Maybe I should just fly.
(U)
Seriously, I need to pay better attention to my thoughts.
Recently everyone I et is able to read them.
Just once I finish that thought I realize that I got grabbed from behind and find so of those abductors fixing themselves on .
Shortly after this I leave the ground and am a mont later on the terrace.
I can fly on my own!
Imdiately Mum throws herself at for an embrace.
"I'm so sorry, Erys!" (F)
Right, I just killed soone.
Probably one of those things where a mum may comfort you.
Well, as long as you don't derive a sick kind of joy from this.
"You, you don't need to. This, this wasn't pleasant, but it was necessary. I think." (E)
Still not too sure if it was.
(H)
Honiu!
As pleasant as ever to have around.
(H)
Honiu moves, and by sheer presence alone, pulls us all with her.
She's basically the current center of administration in Valera and maybe all of Tarsona.
While walking, Liseti addresses .
(L)
She says so less in a laidback assuring way and more in a matter-of-fact declaration.

(H)
Suddenly, Mum chis in.
(H)
Damn, did Mum go on the warpath while I was away?
(F)
"Ahem, you are awA-, aware that I can hee-, hear you?" (K)
Right, he got the full Honiu program.
Eventually, we reach the big hall again that Honiu built for herself.
She looks as regal as when I t her earlier today when she places herself on her throne.
(E)
To my surprise, the answer cos from Liseti, next to .
(L)
Well, if this doesn't sound ominous...
"I hope wee-, we showed ourselves to be cooperative eee-, enough to warrant a decent treatnt." (K)
Oh my god, if Honiu's look could kill.
(H)
(H)
"Ahem, in this case, it may be a good idea to invite cE-, certain figures of our politics to thie- this eting. This might help to let any changes run smoothly." (K)
(H)
"That'z, that's very thoughtful of you. You have my gratitude." (K)
It's making quite concerned about how accommodating my forr king is to soone who basically overthrew his kingdom.
I an, why does he suck up so much to Honiu?
The one who took his nation from him?
What does he stand to win from letting this get out of his hands right into the queen's claws?
After all, if we decide...
Decide!
I guess I can see where he's coming from.
By allowing important nobles and such to attend the eting, he can assure that their issues and argunts will at least be heard.
So to say, he can save face in front of them by acting as if he did what he could, and now they can try their best to convince Honiu and the queen.
But the much more important point is that he isn't losing out here.
If things proceed as they seem to be doing, the Formicea will decide on sothing for Tarsona that doesn't involve eradicating them all.
While this might not sound like a big win, one has to see it from the other side.
Basically, tomorrow's eting's end result will determine the fate of this country.
What we decide, happens with a certainty.
In this sense, if we decide Tarsona's population survives we'll guarantee this outco.
This ans the king is closer than ever before to pulling us into his war because anything else ans we'd allow Koreso to take over here.
Sothing that absolutely can't be in our interest.
Especially not if we want our decisions to happen.
That's sly.
Yet it wouldn't help what I wish for to point that out here.
