""Wait!" She cried as I expected.
"Give me a reason why should. And it better include you coming quietly."
She hesitated. Then, the last remnants of her resistance crumbled. Mei's shoulders slumped, and for the first time, she looked as fearful as she should be. She was cornered, and she knew it.

Capturing her was the first step, but what was the next one? Elia had so many different points of contact with the royal household....
