Chapter 230: Corrupted
Aleksander and Queen Euphemia looked at each other with great intensity. Each of them had fire in their eyes – one that was fueled by hatred for each other.
Elys might have been biased and her judgement of right and wrong clouded by her own goals, but she would never side with the Eastern Kingdom despite Aleksander’s lapses.
Yes, he had gone on a rampage and had accidentally killed people, but it was not entirely his fault. It had been the late King Raxus and his selfish desires for the other kingdom’s land and resources that led to Aleksander’s doom.
"Queen Euphemia, perhaps we can try to talk things over," Elys proposed as she took a step forward, her hand in front of her as if trying to pacify things, "like civilized rulers of a kingdom."
The Eastern Queen’s scowl turned darker as she heard Elys speak.
"You dare to suggest something like that when you and your wonderful husband here massacred a lot of my people and left without even cleaning up your mess?" she said through gritted teeth.
The young queen was seething with anger, her voice thin and high pitched. Elys stopped in her tracks as she felt an ominous aura from the Eastern Queen.
The sensation sent chills running up and down Elys’ spine. The Western Queen bit the insides of her mouth as she steeled herself.
Her enemies should never see her shiver in fear no matter what, that was the lesson her father and their warrior ancestors from the North had taught her from a very young age.
"All I suggest is that we should have been able to save ourselves lives if we had talked it over than to just attack without much thought to the repercussions," Elys said, her eyes serious.
"I would take her on whenever, my queen," Aleksander said with a snarky look in his golden eyes, "Just take a look at her beloved adviser, he has fallen for my magic far too easily. What a weakling, and they even had the audacity to sneak on us."
