"Xerxes has her locked up inside their chamber. He knows that there's something going on in his castle."

"He's my savior, and I'll be repaying him by eternally being his."

"Your way of thinking never ceases to surprise me."

All of them glanced warily at each other and sat stiffly on their seats. They were all hiding something, that, everyone is sure of. A secret that would cost them their heads but to some, it was a risk that they were willing to take. They've been ruled over by Xerxes for centuries. And another century they could not take anymore. They had the right to be called the reigning king or queen of their own land, being a lord or a lady is, and will always be, never enough.
