Chapter 23: Not Enough
On the other side of the door, Elys waited anxiously for the attendant’s return.
Her brows were practically knitted together in worry. Cordelia might not be in the encampment anymore – worse, she could be dead.
The former lady-in-waiting followed Elys’ demands even before she could utter her first words. She couldn’t dare to imagine what Cordelia would have done after they were separated.
Elys sucked in air and held her breath.
How stupid she had been, letting her emotions get the better of her when the overseer raised a heavy hand over Cordelia.
It had been the same back then when the vampires attacked their kingdom. She lost sight of herself when she let her emotions take the rein.
By doing so, destruction spread out like wildfire despite her good intentions.
Her power, which supposedly was her strength, turned out to be a curse.
Elys clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. She swore she wasn’t going to do the same mistakes again.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Your highness? I have arrived with the woman."
