Chapter 22
Aly woke for the last time on the day her family arrived in the Copper Islands. There was no one in the room.
Aly stretched gingerly before getting out of her bed and dressing herself. As she stepped out of her room, a guard gasped and snapped to attention.
Aly leveled a questioning gaze at him but didn't utter a sound.
"The Queen desires your presence in the Audience Hall." The guard said nervously.
Aly kept staring at him.
One of Aly's pack, dressed as a servant, came down the hallway. She paused, stared, and then said, "Duani, I will take you to Queen Dovasary."
Aly appraised her silently. The woman didn't flinch. "Come, Duani. I have seen that look before. I will show you where the people you can yell at are."
Aly nodded and followed her spy down the hall and out of sight of the guard.
Aly left him shaking and sweating. He had never seen a woman that could frighten full grown men without uttering a word.
Aly Aly Aly Aly Aly (I just noticed how many times I used her name) ((Totally not joking))
