Chapter 136: I Chose You Because...
The human queen of the vampires grinned from ear to ear. Elys couldn’t help but to be amused, and a soft giggle came out of her.
Eyebrows were raised, but the noble ladies were civil enough not to speak ill of it.
Elys would not have let it slip past her anyways. After all, despite being human, she was still the Queen of the Western Kingdom. Aleksander chose her to be his Queen, and so, she will exploit it to the most she could.
For her people, for all of the humans who were taken into the kingdom previously ruled by a crazy king and that of his forefathers.
’If they value their status, then they must know when and where not to cross the line with me,’ the young queen thought at the back of her mind.
She was surrounded by women of the night, vampires of high society with magical affinities well and above average. Two of them showed promise, while the rest were yet to be determined. Baroness Ekaterina’s placid nature was interesting, and Lady Azalea was outspoken.
The young queen’s mind was racing with how she could exploit such characteristics. She donned a calm mask on, and then smiled at the rest of the women. She held herself in her most excellent manners. The whole kingdom knew her only as a slave, and then as someone who had a terrifying magical affinity, but her chosen ladies in waiting must see past that.
They were expecting her to speak up any moment, but she wanted to tease them a bit to test their patience.
"You ask why I chose you specifically? Well, I think you are all wonderful ladies that deserve a chance to return to the palace," Elys began.
"I-Isn’t it a b-bit unusual for us to be dismissed and then recalled in less than 24 hours, your m-majesty?" Lady Penelope asked. "I-I d-don’t think it has b-been heard of at all f-from p-p-previous queens."
"Mhmm..." the queen hummed in response.
