Immediate-future

Mircea's eyes swept through the thick crowd that was standing below and gaping, assessing their Queen's every little moment. It was a sort of miracle for them, after what had happened yesterday. 

Here she was. 

Standing and commanding in front of them, like things had not just spiralled out of her control. She beamed at them, because she knew her enemies were watching her. Till the end Mircea was going to play the Ice Queen's facade in front of her kingdom's citizens. 

"As I promised-I have killed those bastards of assassins who dared to infiltrate my kingdom and kill one of my one. To-day I bring them to you." Mircea nodded her head to Athos who bowed deeply and ordered the guards to bring front their heads. 

Yesterday night, Mircea had told Athos that she wanted to show her citizens their heads and then take those heads to the border of Gyyza and Slyve and hang them right on the border.
