Osa's hope was that the memory contained some piece of information about the country and its dukes. If it did, she would offer that memory to the Queen. She had liked Holal, but if Holal had stolen this memory, she could not forgive that violation of her mind, and she would not hesitate to use the memory against them. And she loved the way Queen Madella smiled when she was given information, the quickness with which she wrapped her mind around every detail and chose how to use it.
