112 She'd Rather Be Assassinated

"Wife?"

Elys jolted as she heard the prince's – the king's rather – voice. She turned to look at Aleksander seated on the bed. 

"What is in your mind?" Aleksander asked.

His wife paced the room and bit her nails, "It just feels so surreal. Am I really the Queen of the kingdom that pillaged my own? What would my people think of me?"

The Northern Warrior Princess couldn't believe she just rose to the status of Queen in just one night. All the more was the fact that now she was the Queen of the Western Kingdom whose people were cruel vampires.

The prince put down his crown and got out of bed.

"Elysianne," Aleksander whispered as he reached out towards his queen, "didn't I promise you that we'd take this kingdom apart? That I would set your people free and punish those that have wronged you and I both?"

Elys' eyes locked on Aleksander's, "You did say all of those."
