Chapter 23- Who said you could leave

Rose's hands glowed with orange light, and she attacked the queen with a spell, levitating the spoon to pierce into the queen's neck.

She felt a sick joy seeing her attack reaching the queen before anyone could react but what happened next froze her in place, dread consuming her when she realized her actions.

Elora held the spoon in place between her fingers. A disappointed tsk left her lips. ''Aunty, Aunty. You really shouldn't have. Now I would be forced to kill, which I really don't.'' Elora drawled in a light tone, her face smiling, but her eyes were cold.

Nalia's heart surged with fury, her sword going straight for Rose's throat, but she was signalled by Elora to stop. 'The queen was nearly killed in her presence.' Nalia thought her heart filled with fear and anger. If Elora didn't stop her, Rose would have been diced up into many pieces when she was done with her.
