After Yuri Sinclair left, Kuna brought the breakfast the chef had prepared into the dining room. She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already eight o'clock. Usually, the Imperial Concubine would have been up by now.
Unsettled, she went to the bedroom door, first peeking around the doorway and then pressing her ear against the wood. But there was complete silence from inside.
"Imperial Concubine, it's time to get up. Breakfast is ready."
Still, there was no response from inside.
Kuna shook her head. 'She must still be angry after her fight with the master.'
TICK TOCK—
The minutes ticked by. Breakfast was cleared away, and lunch was brought out.
Kuna went to the door and called out again, but it was still completely silent inside.
The television in the living room was on, currently broadcasting news of Yuri Sinclair's meeting with the president of Arkanan.
