It was hard to continue playing chess when a dozen some odd Death Jackals filtered into the room a minute after Hera was sent away, each of these warriors kneeling before their Sultana and awaiting orders as more of their number joined with each passing second.
Lady Kio was determined to try and keep playing the game set before us, but when she noticed that Leone - the opponent that I had been facing and now the one that she had been facing - had gotten up to observe the gathering happening nearby, she growled and did the same, getting up and strutting over to her wife as she looked over the various Death Jackals with an impassive gaze.
Whew~
