The Tiger Within Chapter 582

The General and his wife had the good sense not to rush in . Both of them knew healing magic when it was being spun . It was clear she was using her voice to channel her magic into him without having a wound to heal, she was mending the spirit . When Kyera realized they were there, her eyes met her brothers and her expression was like a child caught being naughty . Kendrick leveled her an unimpressed and exasperated glare, as she finished the last bar of the song .

"The General and his Wife . " Kendrick nodded at the two behind him and Kyera tensed . She  pulled her hand away from Talis and stood clearing her throat .

"My lady, General I…" before the words even left her mouth a stinging slap was heard . Kyera's cheek was red in seconds as she barely refrained from stumbling under the weight of the blow . She looked at the Lady general who glared at her fiercely, but didn't respond other than to raise her hand . That raised hand stopped Kendrick from dealing with this woman himself .

"You took both my sons from me . Everyone you touch suffers . Verone fell in love with you and you destroyed him . Talis saw you as a sister and followed you and may yet die for it . Your brothers died yet you survive . You are cursed . d.a.m.nation and bad will follow you, leaving bodies in its wake . Half our people were slaughtered… slaughtered and where were you? Your our princess and yet all you bring is death and misery . " The Lady General growled her voice and hatred tore at Kyera's very soul . Every word cut deeper than the last, and she wanted so badly to hug this woman . Comfort her and help bring Talis back… she almost believed her . Almost . Kyera's eyes closed as she centered herself .

"No . " Kyera said the word softly, almost inaudible the first time . Then her golden eyes slid open filled with fire . "No . I am sorry Lady Soft Paw, but no . You and your husband are to blame for the state this boy is in . " Kyera replied fire in her voice that was almost scalding them . The ice in her eyes and fire of her voice a deadly warning .

"How dare you…" The general began and Kyera looked at him . She was going to ban that phrase if she became Empress . That b.l.o.o.d.y phrase used by every self righteous, arrogant p.r.i.c.k out there right before they made a fool of themselves .

"Yes I fell in love with Verone . Yes, I broke his heart and I have no doubt he attacked Kan on my behalf . I am indeed the reason Talis left you and on some level I am the reason he lays on this bed . However, it was YOU who put him in my hands . " Kyera replied accepting the guilt that would forever rest squarely on her shoulder just as the bruise did on her cheek .

"We can all agree that it is my fault, the three of us were in the woods and Talis tripped that trap . It is my fault I got caught in it to save him . It was my duty as Princess and his trainer . I broke Verone's heart because I couldn't  come home and his frustration caused whatever the h.e.l.l he is now . " Kyera replied and The General looked at her oddly hearing her words . Both he and his wife nodded while Kendrick watched his sister . There was something… new… flaring inside her . Something fighting to be freed . Struggling against the bonds that held it's dark head below the surface of her power .

"Yet you forget who sent Verone to beg me to begin Talis's training that day despite being told he wasn't ready . If he had been caught his blood would have been on my hands . Either way, I refuse to take responsibility for a series of events that I begged Verone not to make me take . Talis wasn't ready . I wasn't ready to be ripped from my home… I lost everything and was reduced to nothing for the second time in my life yet you strike me . All I ever wanted was to be a daughter in law good enough for you… how blind I am . " Kyera's fire was finally spent as a single tear escaped her eye, the clear droplet drawing attention to her reddened cheek .

"Yet you married another man before his body was even found . " The General's wife's words cut through her to the bone . Her one weakness that she could never change . Seeing him at the wedding after… after all the anguish of his death .

"Enough, Kyera is right, and the marriage was what was best for out people . However she is wrong on one thing…" The general paused and looked deep into Kyera's eyes . "You were always good enough to be our daughter in law, Kyera . Always . "
