199. The old Crainous family.

LEONIS' POV.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gordon is here." I hear Farat say from behind the door. He's here to check on her. It's been a week now, so he's going to want to check deeper to find out why she's in this state.

"Come in." I say as I stand from her side and walk toward the window.

"Good day, Your Majesty." He says as he walks in. He's looking around. I'm sure when he was predicting that things would get this way, he didn't expect things to actually go this far.

"It's worse than I expected." He says, but then he smiles.

"Why the smile?" I ask him.

"In all my eight hundred and sixty-eight years, I have never seen anyone look so beautiful in ice." He says. "And as much as it is heartbreaking that she still hasn't woken up, this room looks icly magical. It is most definitely the purest demonstration of magic I have ever seen."

…

"How is she now?" Laurius asks as we walk.
