Chapter 232: Get Out Of Here
"Elysianne!"
The Western Queen blinked rapidly as she was pulled back into reality. Why did she suddenly think of Teacher and the days she spent in her little cottage as a child learning magic?
"You are all going to die in my hands," Queen Euphemia growled from afar. "For my people, for the Eastern Kingdom!"
Elys could feel the intensity of Euphemia’s hatred towards them. She could tell that the young girl truly loved her kingdom and her people, and in a sense, she knew that if the circumstances were different, the two of them would have made great allies.
Was it too much of her to disregard the Eastern Queen’s plea for Aleksander to face trial back then when Sir Noa showed up in their throne room? Had she been too absorbed by her own goals that she set aside justice for those who died innocent during Prince Dominick’s attack?
Perhaps she had been blinded by her own desires too.
Elys veered her attention back to the Eastern Queen. The miasma that had previously surrounded her like a thin cloud of smoke turned into thick dark clouds of purplish hue. Her body was plagued with blisters and boils, and the youthful look of her face was totally gone.
Queen Euphemia has shown her true colors – a corrupted human being that had a strong affinity to destruction.
Elys felt a hard tug on her hand and turned her eyes to glance at the worried face of her husband. His dark brows were knitted at the middle, wrinkling the skin on his forehead. But although he looked like that, Aleksander still looked quite dashing in his alabaster skin and golden eyes.
"Husband, what are you thinking?" Elys asked him.
"I think we might be in quite a troublesome situation, my queen," he sighed. "I can’t get a good eye contact with Queen Euphemia. It is hard to take her down like this if I can’t control her."
