Very little. [She sighs.] The Blood guard their minds constantly, but when someone whose Jewel is darker than yours wants to burrow into your thoughts, there's only honor and trust as a barrier between you. Having a powerful Queen ruling a Territory with a respected court helps, but I've only been in power for a decade. Not enough time, not for the long-lived races.
However, next time someone wants to assault the mind of a child, they'll remember this. They will remember that the Strangers found the guilty party and that the Queen executed those people without mercy. They will hopefully reconsider.
