He said that she would always be welcome in the house of his father... so when she went looking for him, that was where she went.
There was a particular church in Trifas that Ruler tended to spend his time at. Lakshmibai paused outside the doors and looked up at it, wondering if it would be disrespectful for her to enter... She trusted Ruler as a purveyor of his faith, so after a deep breath she stepped out of the heat of the sun and into the cooler interior.
Lakshmibai walked slowly up the aisle between the pews and stopped beside where Ruler was standing. Whether he was praying or simply thinking... or perhaps plotting... she had no idea. She looked up at the stained glass above them in silence, appreciating the beauty of this house of worship, and missing the beauty of her own homeland. She frowned.
“Ruler... when you said my nation deserved better... than the current state of the world... what did you mean by that?”
