ENURRUA
DAY TWENTY-TWO
"Where have you been?" Chetak demanded. "I've been trying to reach you for days!"
Tablina looked at him as she sipped the tea at her home in Atlatus. "I was not aware I had to report my comings and goings to you Chetak." She spoke calmly. "If you must know I was visiting recent friends I have made in the northern city of Arnoma. Now why have you barged into my home Chetak?"
"The serum you provided did not work." Chetak spoke plainly.
Tablina laughed, "Nonsense Chetak. You brought the child Queen back with you mated to Joric. Do you think I am a fool?"
Chetak leaned forward across the table. "He did not impregnate her Tablina." He spoke. "You said she would become with child."
"I said no such thing." Tablina spoke watching his eyes. "I told you I would make it so even she surrendered to your foul son, by increasing the potency of the Lunmai. I said nothing about making her with child. That is your son's duty."
