Chapter 215: One Step Closer to Doom
Henry’s lips trembled as he was cornered into a situation that he didn’t want to take part of. The young queen has gone mad! Why was she asking him about his master’s weakness?
Of all the people that she had to ask, why did it have to be him?
"Your majesty, why do you want to know?" Henry asked.
The old man tried to stay calm but his knees were madly shaking. Anytime now he could feel them buckling. Eventually, he knew all the strength in them were sure to leave him at the most inconvenient moment.
"You shouldn’t ask anything, Henry," Elys replied to his question, "all you need to do is to answer me – and don’t you even think of lying."
"I – I..." Henry stuttered.
He couldn’t understand where he should even begin.
"Did I also say that I don’t appreciate you taking too long to answer such a simple query?" the human queen asked him sarcastically.
"Your majesty, you should know where my loyalty lies," Henry spoke, this time around with more confidence – well, as confident as a man with shaking knees could even express.
"I know where it lies, Henry," Elys heaved an annoyed sigh, "I won’t even try to argue with you about that. But would it be too difficult to understand that I don’t care as well?"
Elysianne took a step closer towards the old attendant and in turn, Henry took a step back. They danced like this until Henry couldn’t step back any further.
