Assassination Attack
That night, Esther was waiting for her husband to appear in her chamber as usual. One of his aides came by earlier to inform her that he was still in his office, busy working over a couple of important kingdom-related matters, and that she should head to sleep without waiting for him. However, she continued to wait for him. She had long gotten used to sleeping in his arms and didn't mind staying up late to welcome him back from work.
While staring at the dark sky, she suddenly sensed something alarming coming in the direction of the most important part of the royal palace, the Grand Palace. She sensed a familiar yet foreign energy, the kind that reminded her of the previous attacks made against her husband.
Esther's face turned grim as she grabbed the robe hanging nearby. Just today she talked with Lady Tyra about assassination attempts on King Theron, and now, it had already started. Without hesitation, she used her powers and disappeared from her bedchamber.
