Story of Evil- chapter 3b
Political matters
The meeting was in the dead of the night,in a hooded cloak with red bands at the hems. Tei saw the person, hiding from the light. She stepped into the light of the lamp, this was a standard way to show she had nothing to hide.
"Why have you called me back miss? I thought I was lured into prison because I accomplished the mission? The king made sure of that." asked Tei.
"Sukone Tei, the king did not realize you potential and use your abilities, instead, he locked you up, quite foolish I think."
"Get to your point, what would you have me do?" Her sharingan eyes glowed brighter.
"stop it. you are going to attract unwanted attention." hissed the figure. Tei's glowing eyes dimmed.
"I require you to remove some targets, as quietly as possible." Tei took the envelope the figure offered and peeked inside.
"bravo. This will keep me entertained for weeks!" said Tei excitedly and began to walk away.
"do it quickly and silently!"
"I can only guarantee speed, because I love to be messy sometimes" said Tei, Eyes glowing brighter then before.
"you may come in now Kurai." called White.
"wait outside, White."
"yes, your highness." White allowed Kurai into the room and backed out.
"close the door," demanded the queen.
The door closed, and Kurai stepped forward, only to be blocked by two crossed poleaxes held by two guards at either side.
Rin stood, smiling to herself. I'm going to enjoy this, she thought.
She closed a thick leather book and placed it neatly on a stack, lifted the stack of luxuriously bounded leather books off the table and began to slot the books back to their original positions.
"Sir Kurai, do you know why I have called you here today?"
"not at all, unless this concerns my defeat weeks ago at a skirmish against the Mercenaries."
"yes, please explain yourself," said Rin, taking her seat and pushing hair out of her eyes.
"the defeat was due to the fact that I was not given sufficient men. We were outnumbered one to four." said the general, stepping back, away from the poleaxes.
The door opened. "yes?" Rin asked impatiently.
"your highness, the Prince of the Blue kingdom is here." said White, peering around the door.
"I will speak to him soon," she snapped.
The door closed. "what were you saying? Oh yes, so now you are putting the blame on me?" Rin snapped her fingers. " seize him." the guards lunged at him.
Kurai was too fast for them, he spun around, causing the guards to trip over each other.
"need I remind you, that you have openly questioned my leadership." hissed Rin, rising from her chair.
"not without reason." Kurai said, opening the door and sprinting off.
"capture him at all costs, try to capture him alive." Rin told the guards, then turned to look at the newly constructed guillotine at the city square. She was happy that its integrity would be tested soon.
The prince was a fine young man, he had deep blue eyes and hair, he looked exhausted from the traveling, but also pleased at the same time.
"pleased to see you Queen Sukiine. I have come here to speak to you regarding increasing the trades by devoting more outposts at your side of the border" he paused to breathe. "the red tide's attacks have been increasing at a alarming rate."
"I have already given the order to build a outposts twenty miles from the city," Replied Rin. "this outpost will ensure a significant deterrence to the resistance. I have also sent men on skirmishes against these rebels
