[TAMIKO]
"No sword?" Kosta asked.
This was new to him, and the way that Tamiko was talking, it was as if he were going into the battlefield without a sword.
For anyone, it should have been comforting enough. Because without his sword, he would alternately be weaker and need support, right?
But how was that supposed to work for a man who was ten times more powerful than everyone here save for his own father, a deranged king who was out for blood while wielding a sword of doom himself?
Even without the sword, Tamiko could murder everyone here with so much as a whisper. He had mentioned it to Kosta earlier, but now it was more obvious. No one would ever truly understand what the stakes were.
It couldn't matter that the sun was high up or that it was already going down. The crown prince of Kawai was a walking grim reaper, and there wasn't much that anyone could say to it.
