Chapter 4-21

== Mikael ==
Following Tiemokos' ascension of the Kaentosi Throne, Mikael had been locked in and around his room for several days. He was finally brought by a soldier to meet with her. Tieken comes later and reunites with his children for the first time in nearly 10 days. His face is covered in bloody wrappings.
After physically lashing out at Mikael, the three go to the council room in the back to discuss business. Tieken makes several demands which are all shut down by Tiemoko. he retaliates with physical punishment. Tiemoko has Tieken incapacitated when she stands up for herself. The guards escorted Tieken away.
Later that day, Mikael is made to visit an execution which he learns to be his own fathers, Tieken. Tiemoko made him watch as Tieken was brought up and hung from the gallows. The crowd cheered when he died. After the ceremony and when the crowd had passed, Tiemoko had come to visit the gallows. With Mikael still there, she has hip detained and brought to the gallows as well. Tiemoko and her step-brother shared a few words before Tiemoko had the floor dropped beneath him to hang him. But the noose never tightened around Mikael's neck because Tiemoko cut the rope. She didn't want to kill him. 
To recap, she had demanded Mikael's obedience but he declined. She had also made him an offer to be King of Oriah but he declined that too. So, Tiemoko had him taken away as well to be locked in his room. There he waited as Tiemoko ceased control of the city.
