Edge of Chaos

The air in the throne room was thick with tension, Dandeline was standing tall before the queen, her expression calm and composed as she laid out her plan. The witch knew well not to offend the queen just yet. Not that it bothered her.

The queen, regal and cold, sat on her throne with narrowed eyes, her fingers tapping the armrest in thought.

Dandeline's voice was steady, "Your Majesty, taking Selene to Rosewood will not only prevent a rebellion but ensure that her loyal subjects stay under control. The moment she disappears without reason, there will be whispers, and those whispers will grow into dangerous sentiments. The princess has joined many loyal friends with her I have seen them care for her. Also, A rebellion against the crown would tarnish your rule."

The queen's lips curved slightly, but it was a cold, calculating smile. "And you think you can control her in Rosewood? She's grown powerful, Dandeline."
