Akane could barely move for the Princess's voice commanded obedience. She didn't kneel but she felt weak in the knees. This power was something she felt from a human. It would take years for someone to be able to command so effectively. Akane was as sensitive as a cat to these things. She may not be a priestess, but she knew what inhuman power was and the Princess for that brief moment radiated it. At the moment she merely obeyed and was going to allow this to be settled in its own way. 

When Kaede dipped her head to everyone it was obvious now it was over. Well she still had a bone to pick with Noriaki, but Akane was looking forward to that moment. In any other situation Akane would never have tried to stop this, but right now wasn't the time nor place. "Do not worry. I'm sure you will get your chance, and when your done with her." a sinister smile invaded her features. "I will show you why Demons fear me." Her previous motion for peace now seemed like a mere cover for her true nature. As a hunter she is very patient.
