Taiyi turned away from the door and walked back to her bed. Alrakis was sitting in the balcony of the bedchamber and looking at important documents. Taiyi let out a deep sigh as she gestured to Eltanin to take a seat.
Though Eltanin went to sit on the chair, he was not settled in his heart. There was something ticking him off. When Taiyi maintained her silence, he said, "Mother, I am very anxious to know what happened out there. Can you please elaborate? Even Father is not speaking about it. I am not feeling comfortable. What is it that you are hiding from me?"
Taiyi closed her eyes. For the past two days, she had decided that she wouldn't speak a word about Felis to Eltanin. "It was just a routine meeting of soldiers from two sides," she said in a low sorrowful voice which didn't go unnoticed by Eltanin.
