Chapter 311: Letter from Midnight Queen
After returning to the Cursed Castle from the Midnight Realm once the urgent meeting ended, Annalise and the others had now a new task in their hands to complete.
The night sky was shrouded by dark clouds and the temperature had dropped to make the weather chillier than the previous day. It almost felt like it would snow anytime soon.
Inside the warm walls of the castle, Annalise, the dark lords, and their friends, gathered in the grand living room, the atmosphere was tense from the recent developments.
The servants had already retired for the night at Annalise’s orders, leaving the castle to seem slightly empty without their usual presence.
"I can’t believe we’re forming an alliance already. It just makes everything even more real, the fact that we have been dragged to our very last resort by our enemy," Leela whispered as she took a seat next to the fireplace and Ezra followed her, settling down on the seat next to hers.
Everyone had been so busy fighting the dark energy or trying to find ways to defeat it that nearly no one noticed these two coming this close. But as Annalise looked at them now, she could see that they had already developed feelings for each other.
Ezra nodded his head at Leela’s words, glancing towards Annalise, who was silently observing the two of them, "It’s our only chance against the dark energy and our enemy."
Annalise turned to the group, her eyes determined. "We’re all aware of the stakes. Our worlds are under threat, and unity is the only way forward. Our mission now is to secure the support of the other rulers."
They could no longer fight on their own. Their enemy had grown powerful and thus, they needed to increase their power as well, which called for an alliance.
