He clearly knew about her and Yakari and that bothered her a bit. Yakari was likely going to want to do some sort of announcement of their marriage, though she hoped she might be able to talk him out of it. Edward was right, their marriage had put them both in a lot more danger than she had actually taken the time to think about. She wondered where Edward was and briefly considered the fact that he might be headed out to find Yakari--which she certainly hoped was not the case. She shuddered to think of what Edward might do to him and she worried for Yakari, but she could not stop Edward and leave the Queen's side again. In fact, she would have to tell the Queen immediately of what the events of the day had been and give her the whole story. It was best to get it out first and then let Edward share his thoughts on the matter. Amena was not one to flower a story to make herself look good, but knew it was always better that the story come from the culprit first hand. She had a feeling the Queen would be disappointed and upset with her, but it was her burden and she did not want to lay it on Edward's shoulders to explain. She had made a mistake, not him.<br/><br/>Her thoughts drifted back to Danielle. The girl had an intimacy with Leon? After all that fuss about Yakari and the woman goes after his brother? How did she think love worked, because she was pretty sure it didn't work that way. She couldn't imagine wanting to be with anyone else than Yakari and Danielle claimed to love him just as much as she did--and yet she was dishonoring herself with another man. It seemed strange to her. Perhaps Danielle just wanted a nice spot somewhere in Eastshire and thought she could obtain it through the Aeides. Amena was angry for it, angry about Danielle's obsessiveness for Yakari and how quickly she seemed to be in the arms of Leon. If the girl was going to embarass herself, couldn't she least be consistent?! Amena knew she was only angry because she had seen her sweet childhood friend turn into some vicious monster, driven by some sort of evil spirit it seemed. The girl had embarrassed herself, shamed her family (though Amena was sure Sir Damian would not care), and was making Amena and Yakari look like fools with all of her insane actions.<br/><br/>Amena's eyes cut to Adelaide and she saw something in her eyes that she recognized very much. Adelaide wasn't enemies with Leon at all! The girl liked him, likely had something with him. Whatever this nonsense was about Leon calling a feud between their families had to be a charade. Adelaide was keeping her composure very well, but Amena could identify an angry lover in a heartbeat. Even before Yakari, she knew the signs--now it was a guarantee to know as she had felt the same anger when Danielle had first launched herself into Yakari's arms. However, Amena kept the observation to herself. She would confront the woman later, possibly. Maybe this bit would prove to Adelaide that Leon was not a worthy man--maybe she would move on. Amena sure hoped so. Then again, Amena had been rather bad at judging situations lately--perhaps she was off the mark.
