Chapter 66: A Different Queen

Chapter 66
"Where were they when I mourned and they gathered in jubilation of my defeat and pain? Tell me, Physician, is this the kingdom I should think about?"
Her eyes did not hide her feelings. Rather she showed everything out plainly to him. Her rage was etched deep within, like a raging volcano waiting to burst free when giving the chance.
For a brief moment he was taken aback by her sudden speech and even her emotions but who was he to judge?
Even though her family did all they were accused of, she was only human and she wanted to end her suffering but was deprived of that opportunity as well as a form of punishment.
"So next time you tell me to think about this kingdom, of which I have only one kingdom and she lay waste in the ruins, think about what the kingdom, did to me."
She stopped speaking, looking sternly into his eyes, daring him silently to make one wrong move and say something stupid but he didn’t.
From the corners of her eyes, she could see Aeverie. Judging from the way she gripped the hem of her shawl on her gown, she knew that it was probably the first time she was seeing her act that way, but Era did not care.
She had way gone beyond the point of not caring. She returned her full attention to the petrified physician. Still, he didn’t speak. In fact, right now, Era noticed he failed to even breathe. Noticing her close her head was to him, she understood why.
She looked like a predator, waiting for the prey to breathe so she could find him and pounce on him. Slowly she withdrew from him but her attention was still fixated on him.
Just then they heard a couple of footsteps walking close to her chambers and everyone turned their head in the direction of the door which was, unfortunately, left partly open.
