Bab 482: Wounded (4)

"Kate."

"Kate."

Kate opened her eyes after hearing her mother call for her. The room given to her by the court was dark as it was late into the night or early in the morning of the next day by now. She wasn't allowed to go home yet and while Katrina believed the court was keeping Kate here for no reason, it was actually Kate who did not want to go home. 

Kate knew there was no one home to make her feel safe despite the fact that there were guards there. She wanted more of them before she would return home. 

The court was safe in Kate's opinion because of the guards walking around and everyone knew the men in the court were all skilled in fighting. Then the palace was right next to the court so no one would ever be foolish to try attacking the court.
