Kayeni winced. No, seriously, this was not what she wanted to talk about right now. Her father was already pretty red in the face about Henry. Yeah. That might have been more of her fault than she realized. “Ah. Right.” Oh no no no, Kayeni did not want to say this. But the Faesian queen had pretty much dictated it. “Well, the Faesian queen refused to hand him over, and has started threatening with murder and war. Because I think they’ve… adopted him, or something.” Holy crap. That sounded bad. Like, really, really bad. Kayeni didn’t exactly have a way to cover. Because the result was, she had left with a senior councilmember and a mission to get Nolian back, and she came back without Nolian or the councilmember. But it wasn’t her fault, was it? Okay, maybe it was. Slightly. But it wasn’t her fault that the Faesian queen refused to hand him over. But Kayeni would suffer the consequences nonetheless.

From red to white. Josef's face turned from the scarlet blazing fury to a ghostly white. War. With Faesia?! Oh no no no. No. They were not prepared to have war. They might be able to take a few smaller kingdoms but not Faesia! That would be a disaster. It would be the end of his kingdom entirely. But the more she kept sprinkling tiny truths, the more he felt his heart twist with fury. He finally pounded the throne. "Tell me everything, Kayeni!" He all but bellowed. "Enough with the trickle truth. I want everything and I want the truth." He had a sneaking suspicion that she was behind all of it.Henry had told him a bit of the same--particularly with the suitor. He had hoped by sending her on the diplomatic envoy that it would have been punishment enough. Clearly, by the way she was acting, he was wrong. Which likely meant, this entire ordeal could almost all be pinned on one person. Kayeni. And if she was--oh. She would learn how to fix her mistakes real quickly. Or she would be losing a lot of free-reign privileges that he had been gracious to give her in the first place. "Give me the entire truth, Kayeni. Every single detail. Every single word."
