Chapter 95: Test Of Loyalty
Making her way past the pillars and into the garden, Samantha took notice of the garden’s peaceful tranquility and stopped in her gait. There was no one around, but when her eyes moved to the gazebo at the center of the garden, there sat the high Queen Carina who was elegantly sipping something from her porcelain cup, and her piercing eyes were fixed at something ahead, but Samantha knew she must be disturbingly preoccupied with what has happened recently since her return.
The vampiress had an aura that was almost too formidable to miss.
"Here goes." She breathed.
Gathering her courage since she knew there was no point backing out, Samantha found the strength that pushed her limbs to approach where Queen Carina, the powerful vampiress sat, and she came to stand in front of her.
"They say the Queen who keeps her head high is the strength of a Kingdom, it is an honor to be before your presence, My Queen." Samantha greeted with a respectable bow, keeping her steady resolve intact, and she didn’t dare raise her head or shift in her posture until she heard Queen Carina speak in an unwavering tone.
"Have a seat." She gestured for Samantha to take the vacant seat in front of her table, and it was only after her second persistence did Samantha finally sit down, but her heart continuously drummed with an unceasingly queasiness as she looked at her hands resting on her lap.
"Care for some tea?" Carina offered in a mundane tone, whilst Samantha shook her head before smiling slightly, yet it displayed her anxiety.
"Thank you for your concern, My Queen, but I am fine." She politely declined.
Meanwhile, Carina’s hazel eyes looked at the maiden from head to toe with disquisitive arrogance. She couldn’t deny that the maid was actually cute, but then she was still a lowly servant, one with an unfortunate background if she wishes to add.
