A Devilish Smile
Taiyi was worried about Murel. When Eltanin had told her about him, she didn't know what to do. But it wouldn't hurt to go for her own little inspection. If Kinshra had been with her, she would have taken her along. She had sent a message to her father, King Izo, to meet him and ask about his intentions to marry Nerina with Eltanin. It was very sudden and even Nerina acted like she was desperate to marry Eltanin. Was there a ploy behind all this?
King Izo was a busy man because he ran an empire in the Jade Sea. He wasn't happy with Taiyi and Eltanin because Eltanin didn't marry the girl of his choice. So when he received Taiyi's message, he didn't even feel like replying back to her. However, he couldn't stop himself and he visited her instead.
