"Zariah Launceleyn. Self-proclaimed Queen of the Hollowed Grounds." Delah returned. Her voice was even, like stones in water; it was unclear whether the title was meant as praise or a slight.
"It has come to my attention that you have banned your people from entering my woods, save for exemptions that you can grant. I appreciate that.

One is currently bound in our village." Delah continued, eyes narrowing, the insinuation of the queen's lack of control over her own people quite clear.
