Kyska knows the way to this princess.
Apparently, she lives very far up in the hive.
We follow behind her and I am becoming a little bit uncomfortable when we reach her territory.
The reason I know is a slight shift in the scent of the insects which are here.
Sothing like a princess stamp.
Yes, my drones are the sa.
I have a direct comparison due to my escort right now.
No further comnts about this.
I try to soothe myself with the thought that she can't harm without breaking a law which ans death for herself but nonetheless I'm worried.
Especially, in hindsight, it might've been a bad idea to bring Temia along.
Yet at this point, I can't send her off.
Not here.
I reach Honiu's courtyard and think that the formations of the walls look sowhat extravagant with all the different depicted patterns.
Nobody is trying to get in my way but the stares of the drones tell they're not on my side.
Putting up a sturdy-looking front I move in.
My escort and even Kyska fall back behind .
I rember how Liseti reprimanded her so maybe this is for the better, before this Honiu finds a reason to harm her.
Temia anwhile steps with all the self-esteem of a noble next to my side.
Well, support is appreciated at the mont as anxious I am.
There she is.
Lying in all ease on a bench while gazing at in a way that tells I'm barely recorded.
She looks at like at the grass waving in the wind on a sumr day while you're relaxing and only focus on it because you're in the mood to do so.
I knew I wouldn't like her.
Honestly, it's difficult to contain my anger, but I need sothing from her and have to play nice.
Still, I can't show weakness and like this no emotion.
At least, she eventually pushes herself up to properly adjust her posture.

Temia looks tense but manages to keep it together.
I on the other side am worried.

"Could you please tell what's going on?" (T)
"She inquires who you are." (E)
"I need to say, the deanor reminds quite much of a human noble. One of the more snobbish ones." (T)
(H)
(H)
What!?
(E)
(E)
I turn to leave, or this princess might taunt to pierce her for real.
(H)
"What?!" (E)
I don't feel anymore like making it easy for her to understand .
(H)
She again takes the vessel and puts it close.
(H)
With this, the liquid again fills from her ovipositor in the bowl.
And again she extends it to .
I'm reluctant to co close.
Don't want to fall for the sa trick twice.
Instead, Temia crosses the distance and extends her hand.
(H)
She puts the bowl in Temia's hands while focusing her intently.
As soon she got hold of it Honiu jumps forward and grabs her chin.

"I do- k-ow wha- you- sayngh, but cul- u pleash makh hrr relash !" (T)
Damm, this princess has a point.
Even if Liseti is important, she isn't the one deciding factor.
And I am barely recognized in the current politics.
This ans our actions aren't binding to others.
I don't know if we even inford the queen.
The queen!
That's it!
(H)
To help Temia out I take the bowl from her hands so she can touch her chin after this assault.
I really should insist on leaving now.
(H)
Maybe I should now just dash out.
But she might use that against us, so I reply.
(E)
Again a wink I don't understand and a nurse brings her a small vessel.
But this one is unlike any I have ever seen here.
It's a really small ball of earth with only a hole to one side.
Honiu takes it and again uses her ovipositor to fill sothing in.
Then she grabs a bit of earth from the nurse and uses it to seal the hole.
(H)
She hands it to the nurse which fast scurries towards Temia and rather pushy forces her to take it.
"What's this?" (T)
"Dangerous! I'll tell you on the way back. Now let us get quickly out here!" (E)
We leave and looking back I see that princess and always believe that she smirks.
And maybe she does.
At least with her pheromones.
"Cooe bAack suuoooon." (H)
What a bitch!
