79 Interrogated (Ch.79)

"What is the meaning of this?" King Askel asked in a dark tone, stepping forward and pulling Zariah behind him.

"By order of the Sea King, Lady Zariah Torin...you are coming with us!" Princess Shariah announced in a deadly tone.

A deadly growl escaped King Askel at Princess Shariah's words.

"Any resistance will be considered an admission of guilt. Lady Zariah, I hope you do not make things difficult for us." Princess Shariah insisted as the battle mers moved forwards.

"You dare to apprehend My Queen? It seems the Sea Kingdom has forgotten the strength of the Ethereal Domain." King Askel growled out just as Luther and Nile rushed into the room.

"Prince Treyton, what exactly is this about?" Luther asked as he took position at King Askel's side.

"All will be clear when Lady Zariah comes with us." Prince Treyton said in a hesitant tone, clearly not as intent on this affair as Princess Shariah was.
