He had never questioned that she was in love, he had never believed that those two thought it was the right way to do it. But he had believed her to be more intelligent, more obvious to dangers and more... stern in her duty. Although he himself had asked her to be more trusting in persons. But that part he tried to suppress now. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“I am absolutely disappointed, Amena. I gave you that job as the Queen's trustee because I had seen you being very dutiful and always putting your job over your private life. If I had any idea that you are acting like some teenager in love once you meet the right one, I would have not chosen you. Your actions are a liability to the Queen's safety. You opened up a whole new flank for potential attackers as they know now how they can get to you. Will you defend the Queen with your life if someone abducts Yakari and threatens to kill him? What if Yakari pleads you to save him and to allow others to get to the Queen? Not to speak about how much you put yourself and Yakari in deadly risks with this stupid act. And how shall he provide a home for you? What about kids? Damn, Amena, I had never thought that you may act so stupid.”</span><br/><br/>Edward had no idea what to make out of this whole new situation now. For today he would keep Amena in her duty and later he would discuss it with the Queen. It was her lady in waiting and her life on risk now.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“I will discuss it later with the Queen. She will have the last word if we have to release you of your duty. If I had any say in it, you would be no longer her lady in waiting, as much as that decision would trouble me. I had always looked into you, Amena. But this marriage is your dumbest move ever...now, join the Queen in the royal box. You missed quite a lot."</span></div>
