Punishment (3)
Katrina entered the room, which was larger than all the others she had been in before here at the court. Her eyes first went to the king, who was seated on the sidelines, then to the three men seated in the middle of the room. Katrina didn't want these three men to decide her fate. Why not Mark, who had been dealing with her cases?
"You are a tricky woman," Howard Norman, the court man in charge of assigning punishments, said as he flipped through the records of information gathered on Katrina. "With the position you are in, I shall refer to you as Ida. It is your birth name. What is your family's name? The man Randall said he wasn't given that information when you were sold to him."
Katrina kept her mouth shut, not wanting to speak about that person she had forgotten about so long ago. She was Katrina now.
