Oh for the love of Holy Ishtar...Welcome to Book 17! Now as some of you may have noticed I have a certain impatience with certain characters and they're name may or may not be Nakia. She may or may not be the stupidest woman in creation (though I do feel bad for her and Urhi to a small small extent). Let me recap a converse she had with her brother in Vol 16:

Nakia: Brother! I KILLED THEM ALL.
Brother: OMG WHAT?!?!?!
Nakia: Also I killed Queen Hinti!
Brother: OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS HATEFUL BLASPHEMOUS THING?!
Nakia: Babylonia betrayed me! Left me to rot! I had nothing and no one but my ambition!
Brother: OMG YOU ARE--
Nakia: Oh ps totally killed our niece, our bro has enough he won't really care.
Brother: No but--
Nakia: And you know since I find family expendable...
Brother: I WILL TELL NO ONE OF THIS HORROR.

So that :waves hand: happened right? This book she decides to REALLY heat things up by getting Rusafa (poor suffering Rusafa) accused on assaulting a senator's daughter in the street. Oiy vey..

I don't think she understands Karma very well...not to worry Yuri figures out a way to help Rusafa and Kail all but tells the Queen she pulls another stunt and its her head on a pike. ( )
