>>5565902“Hrmm.” you say aloud, raising a hand to your chin while reaching out telepathically to Koriand'r. “Hey, we need to talk. Your sister is leveling serious crimes at your feet. What do you have to say?”
“What did she accuse me of?” she asks, you quickly filling her in on what she's being accused of. To which you can feel a wave of sadness from her, before the young woman tells you what happened.
According to Koriand'r, after her sister ascended the throne, the Royal Guard had locked her away within the palace. Then her sister had come with some noble of a planet Drenthax IV, a gelatinous being called Glgrdsklechhh. Komand'r had told the noble that he may use her sister as he wished before the wedding that she'd arranged between them. Despite her efforts to dissuade the being, it attacked her, forcing Koriand'r to defend herself from the creature's advances. After battering him, he called in the Royal Guard who then rushed into the room, attempting to beat her into submission for the noble's use. Kori fought back, disabling her attackers and the noble as well with her power. However, her eye beams had blasted the gelatinous creature apart, killing it before the still-awake Royal Guard. Forcing her to flee, avoiding arrest for murdering the attacking noble. She had to fight her way off-world, escaping her sister's clutches by blasting her back down to the planet.
“Thanks for telling me.” you reply after a moment of silence between you. “Don't worry, I won't let her have you. She'll have to kill me first.”
“Thank you.” she says, worry and hope equally leaking through the telepathic connection before you end it.
“You will not stop me from executing a lawful arrest and capture of a terrorist.” Komand'r continues, glaring angrily yet smugly at you. “Unless you're wanting to commit treason against the ENTIRETY of Lord Freeza's empire?”
Which is a devious attack that you have to give her credit for. Positioning YOU against Lord Freeza and the PTO instead of herself over this. Which is a dangerous position to be in. Before, with your friendship with Lord Freeza, you could have just called him and brushed all of this aside. But now, you're going to have to deal with this yourself.
“Now hold on. Accusing your superior of treason is a dangerous accusation.” King Vegeta interjects, his tone serious. “I would speak carefully, were I you.”
“As his king, you'd better keep your subordinate in line.” Queen Komand'r tells Vegeta. “You should know the rules as well as I do, King Vegeta. Harboring a diplomat-killer is a capital offense, punishable by death. Not only of the offender, but of their people and planet as well. Keeping my traitor sister here is a death sentence for not just him, but for you and your people, o' King.”
