Chapter 227: Restrained
When Elys opened her eyes, she couldn’t tell if she was back at the palace or was somewhere else. Her whole body felt numb, while her ears were ringing heavily. She couldn’t really feel much of her fingers and toes, but they did return after several attempts of moving around.
The next thing she found troubling was the fact that she couldn’t move quiet as much as she wanted to. The beds were cold, and it felt like something else was underneath her.
She attempted to lift her head to glance around, yet she felt a restraint strapped around her forehead, making her initial plan impossible. Her wrists and ankles were bound as well, and something leathery and wide held her torso down.
Elysianne tried to twist her hand and at the very least gather enough mana from herself and blast her restraints away with magic. But after spending five minutes of struggling, Elys was devastated to learn her magic was gone.
’Or maybe, I am restrained in a thing which disables magic users like me,’ she thought at the back of her mind.
All in all, it wasn’t looking too good for the Western Queen.
The only good thing that she could find in her situation was the fact that she wasn’t blindfolded and gagged.
"Aleksander..." she called out her husband’s name, "my king, are you there?"
"I am here, my queen," she heard his raspy voice.
Why did he sound like that?
"Are you restrained as well?" she asked.
