Chapter 112: She’d Rather Be Assassinated
"Wife?"
Elys jolted as she heard the prince’s – the king’s rather – voice. She turned to look at Aleksander seated on the bed.
"What is in your mind?" Aleksander asked.
His wife paced the room and bit her nails, "It just feels so surreal. Am I really the Queen of the kingdom that pillaged my own? What would my people think of me?"
The Northern Warrior Princess couldn’t believe she just rose to the status of Queen in just one night. All the more was the fact that now she was the Queen of the Western Kingdom whose people were cruel vampires.
The prince put down his crown and got out of bed.
"Elysianne," Aleksander whispered as he reached out towards his queen, "didn’t I promise you that we’d take this kingdom apart? That I would set your people free and punish those that have wronged you and I both?"
Elys’ eyes locked on Aleksander’s, "You did say all of those."
She stepped away from the newly crowned vampire king. Elys walked out into the balcony of their shared chamber, and then sat over the stone banister.
Cold wind blew from the east, and the newly crowned queen herself couldn’t help but shiver. Elys heard a slight rustle behind her, and then as she turned around, her eyes fell on the concerned face of Aleksander.
"I thought you weren’t bothered with the cold?" he asked.
