Donarch - Docks
"YOU THINK I DID WHAT?!" The shouting was followed by the sound of a plate shattering against the wall.
To say she had been indignant was something of an understatement. The retainers had walked into her Manor, accused her of murder, and then proceeded to say they had a writ of investigations with her name on it. Who the hell did they think they were? Did they not know who she was? What she did? They were bordering on treason!
Of course the Writ had the Dynast's own personal signature on it, but that hardly mattered. She was likely lied to by some noble somewhere and didn't have the complete picture.
The Writ of investigation had been signed, and she had been ordered to either prove her innocents or accept the charge of murder.
That was the only reason that Khari had complied with it all. Why she now found herself standing in a small warehouse on the docks surrounded by Royal Retainers, two of them with their Katanas drawn. They hovered near the Daemonette as though she were about to explode in a whirlwind of action and slaughter them all.
She gave them a scornful glance, looking at one of them expectantly. "Well?"
Khari asked.
"Where is this body that I supposedly left on the ground?" She made absolutely no effort to keep the annoyance and anger out of her voice, brow furrowing as her horn pulsed with that odd red glow that only appeared when she was angry. The Retainer's shifted uncomfortably, glancing over to one another before one answered.
Khari stared at him indignantly. Lips thinning for a few moments. "Who?"
She demanded.

"We are waiting for someone, M-My Lady."
