KIADA
Kiada may not have heard the beginning of the tale, but as her eyes meet Jigano’s and he begins, she knows where it’s going. Did he honestly think the pillar of strength beside her would let Amalia go? No, there were preparations in place. She had spent the last few weeks learning about the bakery and how to bake to cover for it all if Amalia needed to hide. She has heard, and she has learned, to be whatever they needed her to be. Her eyes lock with Jigano’s as he speaks, while inside she turmoils and spins, wondering why he had even said yes when they could’ve demolished it to begin with. Zariah couldn’t come back to a throne that wasn’t there. That’s what Kiada’s goal in all this has been.
Jigano’s explanation comes down toward a trio of rulers, for Ronin to work with them — but Kiada can’t find it within herself to understand how Ronin would be okay with the threat of Aoife sitting over their heads. Sure, Zariah was gone for now, but that didn’t mean forever. Luckily for her, Ronin appears and speaks, and she can sense the fire and brimstone beneath the man as he talks. She wants to side with him, she knows Jigano would be a better King than they could have, and she sighs as she pinched her nose with the results of thoughts that swim in her head. “You couldn’t have waited to see if Ronin accepted it? You could’ve told her you had to think about it first before diving into it, and what happens when Zariah returns? Will you and Edrei be there to face her? She didn’t seem to do much when Zariah was bossing everyone around.” Her eyes lift to meet Jigano’s with a hint of sorrow. “Don't get yourself killed for this.” Her expression seems to say. She knew what grasps at power resulted in, had seen it first hand.
