Chapter 57: The Real Seelie Realm
Annalise stared at Pristine who had appeared inside the carriage from thin air. She looked a lot different in the light of the day but still as beautiful as ever.
She was surprised that even though it was already her third meeting with the fairy, she was still easily dazzled by the latter’s beauty and charisma.
"Are you the one who attacked me?" She asked the fairy even though she already knew the answer, and what surprised her was that she didn’t feel even a little bit angry or sad, just surprised that it was her.
Pristine scrunched her nose in unhappiness as she spoke, "Who attacked you? I just wanted to help you out from your insane husband’s claws, who would have known that my power would go a little out of control and knock you down?"
Annalise observed the woman, not really believing her words this time. "Really? Are you telling me that you can’t even control your powers now?"
Pristine turned her emerald green eyes to stare at Annalise in return as she responded, "What’s with that accusing look? This was my first time using my powers outside the castle grounds, of course, I wasn’t able to handle it properly."
"And what were you doing at my home, to begin with?" Annalise didn’t back down as there were other answers she needed from the fairy.
"I just wanted to follow you out of the castle to take a look around the place. I wanted to see how much the outside world has changed in the past several hundreds of years." Pristine replied with a sincere look on her face and finally managed to convince Annalise with her answers.
"Thank you." Annalise finally spoke after a couple of minutes of silence. Her voice was low and barely audible but she knew that the fairy had heard her clearly.
Pristine let out a sigh as she turned to face her before asking, "What exactly happened between you and Lord Damian? I thought all three lords were close to you, then why did he do something like that? Was he really going to strangle you to death if I didn’t end up interfering?"
Annalise was silent for a while before she slowly shook her head. "I have no idea. Everything was fine till the day before yesterday but he’s now acting like I have betrayed him and the other lords by using them for some sort of plan that he believes is my ultimate reason behind marrying them. Or at least, this is what I understood from all the accusations that he threw at me."
