"I do not care what you do with me, just leave my sister.'' Her voice was devoid of any emotion as if she had already given up on her fate but it only angered Grace who was trying to insult Oli.
"Ha! And what made you think that you still hold the right to bargain? You are just a pest that will soon be killed by the royal court." she spat as she looked at her with burning eyes.

"The bet was to tell you the address of your sister. Nothing else! But if you fell on your knees and beg your majesty, maybe she will feel pity on you.'' Another pearl of laughter followed her words as she saw Oli grind her teeth.
She was holding the hilt of the dagger but still did not take it out that showed how broken she was.
In the end she just closed her eyes and waited for the journey to end. Grace looked at the sign of defeat on her face with pride.
