SHE'S A KILLER QUEEN

She was certain when she spoke up that her family would not be pleased, but if there was one thing Natalya truly prided herself on it was her judgment. Fighting would do them no good other than to damage relationships here in a way that could turn out nothing but negative. While there would never be a "positive" connection - so to speak - for Olympus with Ludicael, they could maintain somthing closer to neutral by keeping their heads on straight. Natalya listened closely as the wolves around her settled slightly, and was proud to hear most of the hostility drop for Virgil's voice as well. The Empress had made a reasonable demand in her eyes - she left the punishment up to the opposing queen while asserting her right to her children. What good could it do, anyway, for the poor soul to see the offspring he had unintentionally created? He would never know them as his, and it would be far better for the children to avoid such confusion and such weakness in their upbringing. However, there was still surprise to be had. Eyebrows raised as the Ludicael Oracle spoke her punishment, one Natalya was sure even her own family would not have given immediately under the circumstances. Her surprise at this only bolstered her respect for the woman, though. Such a punishment would prevent any future problems, lessening the risk of similar confrontation for the family of the boy and perhaps even saving his life. Natalya knew for certain that if a member of Olympus had found him in different circumstances, his life would not have lasted. She closed her eyes and nodded in understanding before turning to take her leave. She would return again to make her respect for the queen known, but now was not the time for such trifles. Olympus needed to return to its lands and the wolves of Ludicael needed time to themselves. -exit- |
