22 Chapter 22

"What is the meaning of this?" Sazhi asked while looking at everyone's tail. They were all afraid.

"It must be a curse," shouted a random voice in the crowd. Hearts began to pound.

"It's not a curse," Lamba said quietly. "This happens when a queen's death wasn't natural."

"So you mean someone killed our queen?" Sazhi asked, sounding shocked.

"That or she took her own life," Lamba said. "It's never happened before that a queen dies under mysterious circumstances."

"Then tell us what the solution is!" Sazhi shouted. "Surely crowning a new queen is the answer," he came up with his own solution before Lamba could give hers. Everyone looked at him as though he was the kingdom's villain. "Do you want to have a strange tail all your lives?" Sazhi looked at his tail before pointing at the others.

"Try not to pretend to be so happy about this, Sazhi," Kanta whispered.
