A satisfied balance

Seated on the bed, staring out of the window was Alina in a cold, dark room lit by moonlight that was sometimes obscured by dark angry snow clouds. Her lovely features were illuminated by the moonlight, which grew darker as the clouds veiled the moon. A tiny smile appeared on her lips as this incident was clearly reflected in her silver wolf-like eyes.

The door opened. Her personal handmaid entered, bowing her head. But before she could say anything...

"Bring her in and make sure no one interrupts us."

There was not even a hint of surprise on the maid's face. Without another word, she left the room.

A minute later, the door opened revealing Ophelia who walked in slowly. The moment the door closed, fire shot up through all of the fire torches in the room, brightening it magnificently.

It was a room befitting a queen.
