Chapter 198: Can Realities Be Altered?
Elys took each step towards her office door with extreme caution. She was on heightened alert as she pointed the tip of her sword towards the door, and whoever it was on the other side.
The ominous killing aura that seeped from the crevices sent chills running up and down her spine. Where was her guard? Why hadn’t anyone responded when she spoke the first time?
"Who are you and what do you want?" Elys asked, "This would be the last time I ask you, for my patience wears thin and I already know you don’t want to be friends with that killing intent emanating from you."
With Elys’ words, the dark aura intensified to the point she could actually see the black mana that leaked from the door’s hinges. The doorknob suddenly rattled, as if someone was forcing their entry. A series of loud bangs almost unhinged the doors, unnervingly taking Elys by surprise.
Deciding that the matter couldn’t be resolved with words, Elys chanted a silent spell that sent a blast of white light from the tip of her sword. The doors immediately exploded upon contact, and splinters scattered.
"Kyaaa!"
Elys’ eyes blinked rapidly at the voice that cried out. As the smoke dissipated, the young queen saw no one outside her door that carried with them a dark aura. She hurried outside with her sword in hand. To her surprise, it was actually one of her ladies in waiting who seemed to have been thrown off by the explosion.
"Lady Azalea?" Elys said as she knelt down to help the lady up.
"Your majesty, no!" the lady in waiting pushed her hands forward, "You will dirty yourself. I can stand on my own."
Several footsteps echoed from the hallway, and the women turned their heads to see knights approaching.
"Where have you been? Someone just tried to attack me in my own office!" the young queen snapped at her knights.
