Jakadiya rushed into the Queen's chamber, turning around to look over her shoulders in worry before she hastened her steps. Getting past the main living room, she came to a halt in the smaller living room when she spotted the Queen standing by the window, her back to her. Letting out a shaky breath, she closed the distance between them, then came to a stop beside the Queen.

"Ranki dade," She started, then bowed her head, "Yerima has just left the palace in a rush." The worry was evident in her tone, and her expression as her lips curled downwards into a deep frown. "Should I have someone stop him?"

"No," Giwa breathed out calmly, her arms folded over her torso as she stared out the window—she saw when he drove out as well, after all, she could see everywhere from there. "Let him. He would need to go and confirm for his eyes after all."

Jakadiya swallowed down a lump, her heart rate spiking behind her ribcage as she flicked her gaze up to throw the Queen a quick glance, taken aback by how the woman could still look this calm and composed after all that she had done. She had known her for her entire life, but that does not mean she is used to how the woman does her stuff by now.

And she will not lie, she scares her too sometimes. She too tends to underestimate the extent Giwa could go for the sake of her children, she goes the long way really. She takes extreme measures when necessary.

She quickly dipped her head into a slight bow when Giwa turned her head in her direction only slightly, before her voice came again. "Have someone follow him," She said. "He will not be able to drive back, so they should bring him back."

Jakadiya nodded, "On it, Ranki dade," She then hesitated, wanting to say something but not sure if she can say it to the woman at that moment.

Giwa, able to tell of Jakadiya's struggles simply by her hesitation to go about the task assigned to her then spoke, "What is it, Jakadiya?" She breathed out almost lazily, as if she had a long exhausting day and just wanted nothing but a soft bed for her to rest on.

Jakadiya finally found her voice. "I am just curious, ranki dade..." She exhaled, her frown deepening. "Will Yerima be okay?" She saw the way he stormed out, and though she has not fully grasped the entirely of the situation, not knowing what truly happened, she knew it must be grave given how calm the woman is acting. The bigger the action, the calmer she always is.

Saying the Prince cannot drive himself back from wherever it is he is headed towards, things must be grave.

Giwa hummed slightly, "No." She said, then turned her head around completely to find Jakadiya's gaze, "But he will need to learn the consequences of his actions," Her gaze turned distant, her later words seeming to have a double meaning Jakadiya's feeble and simple mind could not comprehend. "This is bigger than just him, but he is too stubborn to realize it. I just did what I had to."
