For a moment, Axiom, Kailan, and Kol became stunned, unsure of what to say.
All they could do was stare at the dragon lady holding the baby for a full minute before Kol asked,
"Why are you telling us your names? Is this your way of begging us not to kill you?"
"No. I know you came to kill me. After all, I was sent here, so naturally, I can be considered a criminal. But before I die, I want to make sure you know my name and plead that you spare my daughter's life."
Kol said nothing, and neither did his friends, Kailan and Axiom. The frowns on their faces, however, continued to deepen. The longer they stared at Queen Eirdis, the more they felt the need to hold back from hurting either her or her daughter.
This feeling left them wondering just why that was. It doesn't make any sense to them.
"Why should we spare your daughter? For all we know, she is also a criminal," Kailan asked, but even he didn't like the taste of the words he spoke, and neither did his friends.
