«You didn't listen...?» Sentinekka asks to the King. She feels kinda lost, and she's not even understanding any words that he spoke. «And what do you mean with... That descendant?».
«You know who I'm talking about. Lamed always told me that my Kingdom wasn't going to be long. She always thought I knew what she was explaining to me, but I never believed her. You have met a Child, someone who has the duty to replace me, didn't you?».
«I... I did» she finally answers. «But he doesn't want to be an Elder».
«This surprises me more than your arrival...».
His face now looks more interested in what she's saying. He wants to know more about that Child, probably.
«I'm not here only to save you» Sentinekka explains with all of the courage she has. «If you'll go back to rule your realm, he won't be forced into a life he doesn't want and...».
«A he, as I can hear. Like Lamed's prophecy» the King thinks out loud while finally making every letter disappear and return into the chest. «Why did you do this for someone who has no feelings?».
«He has feelings, he's not like the others» she says, softened. The only thought of Ojtaro makes her smile. She really hopes he's alright, and now she just can't stop thinking about him. He's just so adorable and so much kind, and he knows how to take care of the ones he loves. Sentinekka likes a lot this behavior, no matter what people think about him! She kinds feels like she's the only one that likes Ojtaro for how he's inside... Well, he's not that sociable, so people don't talk to him often. «Actually... Every Elder has feelings. They don't want to prove it, I guess... But he's not like them! He isn't afraid of showing everyone what he is!» she says with a prideful tone. Ojtaro is the freedom itself, sometimes. He doesn't want to make the others decide for him, he knows how to make his choices on his own.
«That is... Good. But why did you do this?».
«Well...» she begins, but she doesn't continue until the other encourages her with a curious stare. She lets out a nervous laugh.
«I'm starting to think about something that would be considered outrageous by the Elders. Don't tell me that I guessed the reason». King Resh has an amused face, and he's looking straight at his savior. «Does the boy know?» he adds.
«I don't think he does...» she smirks and shrugs, then she looks at the ground. «I never told him. He also doesn't know anything about this mission...».
«And you'll tell him, won't you?».
«When I'll go back home».
The King puts on again his typical rigid expression. «You soon will, Child. You still shouldn't be there».
«I shouldn't...? Why?» she asks, worried. She then shakes her head. «You know what? I don't care at all. I first must save you, then it all will be fixed. How do we get out of here?».
«I first must show you... Something. It will tell you the real situation me and you are in». Resh invites her with an elegant gesture, and she follows him with curiosity.
