Chapter 137: What Do You Plan?
"Your majesty, may I have a chance to air out my thoughts without the possibility of getting executed for impudence?" Lady Beatrice finally spoke.
The Western Queen turned her eyes towards the lady with the blood red lipstick. Lady Beatrice - she belonged to the Thyrston family who were believed to have been somewhat cursed. For centuries on out, not a single male heir was born to their family.
Details about the said curse had been kept shush by the family matriarch through generations, but whispers were shared within the high society that it was all because of a vengeful witch.
Misha Thyrston, the first family head, was a vampire that could woo any woman with just a single look. His attractiveness caused a lot of competition from every woman that laid their eyes on him that eventually he had caught the attention of a witch.
Eventually, Misha Thyrston married a noble woman for status. Others might have given up with the news, but the witch did not.
Overcame by jealousy and rage that the man couldn’t be hers, it was believed that the witch cursed Misha Thyrston to never have a male heir so as to avoid any other man that might look like him and break hundreds of hearts like Misha did.
Of course, the family immediately denied such claims as soon as it spread like wildfire. Moreover, witches were unheard of wandering far from the center of the continent where no soul has ever set foot and left alive.
When one does see a lone witch, it was most likely someone that had been banished from their coven.
Up to this day, Lady Beatrice was the eldest daughter of thirteen sisters and a dozen more female cousins from extended family. The males who married into the family were made to take the Thyrston name and not the other way around.
Elys had chosen the lady to be one of her ladies in waiting due to the fact that she wanted to know more on the rumors about her family. Also, she was a social butterfly herself, and Lady Beatrice and her beauty was one of the fairest in the vampire high society.
She needed to secure such a lady on her side.
