[SAKURA]
Sakura's patrol of the dungeon lasted several hours.
She killed so many of her prisoners and was tried. She was bored and was playing ruffles with whoever she wanted to play with. It was inhumane and terrifying to watch, and yet she never once wavered.
Well, until a name was dropped.
A name that she had not expected to hear, not on this side of the grand palace and not in the way that it had come out at the brink of mercy pleas.
"What did you just say?" the queen asked when she listened to the one thing that had her almost burning the place down because of her disbelief.
There was just no way.
She refused to believe that this was possible, and yet a part of her understood the politics of the life she had introduced her Erasthai to. It wasn't going to be easy, and she knew it well, not this… this was insane.
This was out of turn.
This was so tiring.
