-Royal Capital; Prison (Evening)-

It had been some time since they had taken Emyr into custody. Though getting information out of her had proven to be difficult. Since they had found something odd about 13, the Captains and Julius figured they could get information out of Emyr since Echo had been missing in action.

Yet she had remained stubborn.

She had remained bonded to pole, as she had been bounded by my magic resistant cuffs from her wrists to her ankles.

Before her had been Captains Jack, Nozel, and Yami.

"How cute you think intimidation would work on me." Emyr said, "You people of Clover are nothing but amateurs Knights, and barely out of your training pants.

"Shut your mouth." Jack said with his blade ready, "Unless you wanna lose your head, You had better start talking!"

"About what? What I had for breakfast?" Emyr asked, "Because I can tell you , the food in this place isn't exactly five stars."

Jack growled as jhe was ready to attack but Yami stopped him"Down Boy. I Get the urge but killing her ain't gonna solve the problem."

"KEH!" Jack said as he turned his head. "I never got a chance to lob their heads off."

"As if you can in the first place." Emyr said with a teasing smile.

"Quiet." Nozel said with a leer. "Start giving us answers. You can start by telling us about 13, and who is underneath the glass body.

"Why should I tell a Silva?" Emyr asked. "So you can know for yourselves, you're not exactly the good guys yourselves."

"A girl--An innocent girl is trapped underneath the glass because of you!" Nozel argued, "Tell us who she is and how to undo it."

"... No." Emyr replied.

"No?" Nozel said with a leer.

"In case you haven't realized it, 13 is our valuable asset. We can't afford to lose assets as you no doubt are aware---Silva." She said.

Nozel had a leer as he turned his head.

"Sure--walk away." Emyr said. "At least those Barbados' were more intimidating than a man with Silver locks."

Nozel had a vien as he was about to use his mercury.

"Now settle down, son."

Nozel turned to Olympia who had been observing. "She's just playing you." Olympia said, "Sides, she's an assassin and sad to say she's a good one at that. She's not gonna tell you what you want to know, trust me."

"What the hell do you know, old lady?!" Jack said.

"More than you think, Skinny Legs." Olympia said, "Afterall I am unfortunately that one's mother."

"Now you say that after your favorite daughter goes up and dies." Emyr said.

Olympia soon glared, "You have LONG lost the right to even talk about Ezra that way. Let alone be considered my daughter since you killed her."

"I was just doing what our family has always been doing ." Emyr said, "You can't blame me for that."

"Even if it including endangering everyone, your own daughter and niece included?" Olympia asked.

"They're liabilities, nothing more than that." Emyr said.

"Okay, That's pushing it." Yami said as he stepped towards her. "They're not liabilities. And what you put them through--"
