when she had a meeting with Kai and his higher-ranked associates, she knew she always had to arrive on time.

festivals, holidays, and board room meetings called for traditional clothing. it wasn't really about fashion as much as it was about honoring her roots and being respectful. she would much rather dress in anything else for the board meetings but she knew that Kai would never approve of that. the way she dressed typically wasn't very modestly and that would be a problem when she was the only woman surrounded by eleven other men.

plus, he just didn't want to see his daughter looking like that.

they may have only seen each other every few weeks, but his guards who tended to tail her often reported her shenanigans and would keep Kai well-informed on whatever she was doing, even if he had much more important business elsewhere. she was his eldest and only living child and she would be the heiress to his fortune and his company.

fashion, art, and the alternative scene didn't interest him in the slightest bit. to him, she was his greatest asset and sometimes his biggest disappointment. she had learned firearms and weapons from the time she was twelve, could speak multiple languages almost fluently, and she had a wicked sort of charm about her. she could talk her way out of almost anything if she needed to do so. despite all of those qualities, he knew her stubbornness and sassy tendencies were going to get her into more trouble than good.

even now as she sat at his lefthand side at the long oak boardroom table, he could tell that she didn't really belong. he knew she would agree. she had to take off work from the tattoo shop to be there. he knew she would rather be there, drawing her latest art on the back or arm of a returning client or that she'd rather be smoking a cigarette on a roof in the middle of the night.

but traditions were traditions and eventually, she'd be queen.
