Chapter 308: Wrixia’s worst experience
Hex met the eyes of the woman in gold. Her expressions remained serene yet her presence stopped all the Druids in their tracks.
Even Queen Bae, whose hate toward Gronke only seemed to have increased during their battle, moved to her side, standing slightly bowed.
"Bae, you attacked first," the lady in gold said. Her melodious voice sounded like a gentle wind rustling through the grass in an open field. She spoke in barely a whisper and still everyone heard her loud and clear.
Queen Bae’s neck shrank a little. Even at such a distance, Hex saw her pale skin catch a rosy hue.
"I apologize, High Queen. But he challenged us and...and he is...he is part of Scarletfire’s team."
She fidgeted a little before she spat vehemently, her eyes fixed on Gronke. The mere thought of his leader seemed to drive her desire to draw blood. His blood.
Hex saw the High Queen’s eyes shot at Gronke. The massive Warlord had reverted to his human form. A playful smile played on his lips as he stood and enjoyed the furious gazes landing on him.
The hatred came from those close to Queen Bae, it would seem. Others looked more curious and nervous than furious with him. The High Queen, too, didn’t share Bae’s sentiments. Hex felt a sense of relief at this. He rather not enter a new land bathing in blood, especially not one where he had a lot to gain from. Or so he hoped.
"The presence of Warlords is indeed surprising," the High Queen said slowly as she withdrew her gaze from him. "But then again, the Silver Serpents are infamous for hiring you guys."
