That evening at dinner, Lessja was pleasantly surprised when Olenia invited Martina to sit at the queen’s table. Maybe the seed she had planted earlier was already sprouting. The queen of the Richka tribe waited until the women in the dinner hall settled down before she stood up.
‘We are honoured to host Lessja, the queen of the More tribe and Martina, a princess of the former Hora tribe. Lessja has made an excellent suggestion earlier during our meeting. One I immediately agreed to.’
Martina looked at Olenia with expectation in her eyes. Was tonight the night when she would at last become the queen of the Hora tribe? But her excitement was soon dampened when the queen continued.
‘We will reintroduce the summer games soon.’
This brought a tremendous cheer from the Richka tribeswomen.
