AMELIA'S POV
Stirring from my slumber with my senses gradually coming back to me, I was
greeted by the sound of mu ffled s obs echoing through my room. Confusion
clouded my mind for a moment before I realized that it was Kyla. She sat on the
floor, resting her back against the wall, in tears.
Struggling against the waves of pain that washed over me with each movement I
made in a bid to look at her, I turned my head to face her, wincing as I did so.
Kyla rushed to my side, her face etched with concern and worry as she was now
in the know of my consciousnes.
“Please, Amelia, don’t strain yourself,” she pleaded as her voice trembled. “You
need to take it easy and let yourself heal.”
I managed a weak smile, though the pain that coursed through my body made it
difficult to find any semblance of comfort.
“I'll be fine, Kyla,” I reassured her as the words came out strained and breathless.
“Why are you crying?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to
make sense of the situation. “Is everything alright?”
Kyla shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes as she tried to compose
herself.
“I just... I feel so sad seeing you like this,” she admitted, her voice choked with
whatever emotion made her begin to cry in the first place.. “You don’t deserve to
suffer like this, Amelia. You tried your best for this pack and you still do. It's not
fair.”
Her words struck a chord deep within me, stirring a swell of gratitude and
affection for the sister who had stood by my side through thick and thin.
Tears welled up in my own eyes as I reached out to grasp her hand, squeezing it
tightly in a silent gesture of appreciation and understanding.
“Thank you, Kyla,” I whispered, “But it was my fault.”
“How is it your fault?” She asked, not agreeing with my point of view.
“I didn’t do as ordered, Kyla. Lbroke the rules.” I said. I didn’t want her to have

“How is it your fault that
fault that Varef got on your nerves without caution in front of the Queen Mother?
How is it your fault that the Queen mother watched on while Varef angered you
till you couldn't take it anymore when she could have stopped you both? Just tell
me how that is your fault.”
“How did you get to know all these?” I was surprised that she knew exactly what
happened without me having to tell her.
“When I received the message that you were in the punishment ground, I wasn't
sure how true the anything that would implicate you.” She answered to my
surprise.
message was. So, I had to go confront Lord Varef before doing
“Did he hurt you? Did he say anything terrible to you?”
“No, he didn’t. Shocking enough, he told me to go get you there before I even
asked my question. It was like he was expecting me already.” She answered. I
guess Varef was really pained about me being punished.
“Thank you, Kyla.” I expressed my gratitude.
“It's my duty, Amelia. But why did Canthra Minerva punish you for that little
misdeed? This obviously isn’t the first time you and Varef would act up in her
presence. Why did she choose to punish you today?”
“That was because, I drew out my weapon.” I replied truthfully and she went
silent right away. There was no one who didn’t know what drawing one’s weapon
in the presence of the Queen mother meant.
“See, I told you I was at fault”
“No, it's still unfair. How could she punish you with the Seven strikes just because
of that.”
“It's better than death, Kyla. You know that”
“And when will you stop déluding yourself with this blind loyalty of yours? Can't
you see that you're being used here? To the Queen mother, you're nothing but a
pawn, a chess piece she could toss away when she’s not in need of it.” She
paused, looking at me in the eye./
“To her, you're just someone she could use as a scapegoat when she feels like
it.”

Kyla didn’t hold back as she spoke.
“Hey, lower your voice. I bet you don’t want to get in trouble like I did.” I warned
softly and she sighed, casting a measuring look at me.
“Sincerely, you need to start getting smart, Kyla.” She sat on the bed with me.
“What do you expect me to do? Do I have a choice in all these?”
“No, you don't, but...”
Aknock on the door made her keep quiet as we stared at each other
suspiciously. Someone was knocking, obviously it could be anyone. Could they

I opened the bottle and the smell of medicine filled my nose.
“It's medicine for wounds.” I said to expectant Kyla.
“Who could have left it there?” She asked, looking in the direction of the door.
“Anyone. Maybe, Varef.”
“Let me help you with applying it.” She collected the bottle from me and I
positioned myself well, exposing my back to her.

“It's alright, Kyla,” I reassured her, my voice strained with discomfort. “You're

“Where are you off to?” she asked in a defensive manner. “Surely you're not
planning to go out in your current state?”
I shook my head, a grim determination settling over me despite the lingering
pain.
“I have no choice, Kyla,” I replied, my voice firm. “The Queen Mother has ordered
me to attend to my duties, and I cannot disobey her command.”
“To hell with the Queen mother. Can't you just rest today?”
“I can’t.” I said, placing my hands on her shoulder. “I'll be back soon.”
