[KIYOMI]
When she walked out of the throne room, Kiyomi Kimura didn't feel any freer.
She wasn't a woman who had felt free now that she had taken everything from Sakura.
She didn't walk out as a woman who had managed to bring the mighty Sakura Watanabe to her knees.
It wasn't like that, and as she stared at the emptiness that had once been where Sakura's hands had been earlier, Kiyomi knew that she was never going to get that kind of warmth back.
She understood it so well, the moment that Izanami had laughed, and when Otaru and Lola had left without so much as looking at her.
The blood that had come from Sakura was still thick on the floor, with no one wiping it yet, as was the routine for any blood spilled in the palace.
It was as if Izanami wanted to let everyone know that the mighty mad queen had been bested, and that, too, by the one person who had all the power in her hands to do it.
