SHE KNOWS, MAYBE A LITTLE TOO well where that voice was and who it was. Many people would be wiser to not forget their voice, their presence. It's many of very few knew. The elders, her father, her brothers, and a handful of others would know.
And his presence, whether it would be in her own mind, or in seeing them, it was all the most absolute rule.
"....Imu-sama." Her sword is still in her hands as she glances at them, a flicker of fear hitting her the instant that she had heard them, seen them.
She didn't have word that they were showing up to this island.
"...I-I apologize, I wasn't expecting you to be here." A pause, wondering why they had been at Scarlet Holm of all places. She thought the navy would be here, above anything.
Her eye pulsates a little at seeing them, "It's...nothing, I assure you."
She could practically hear her father scolding her at the second thought. But she knew she was in trouble. That's for certain. Any form of rebellion would mean death, and she knows it better than a lot of people.
Or did she? How much did they see?
