The princesses look at the Queen in horror. Felicia couldn't believe she just felt pain right now. She still felt the stung she gritted her teeth How could she hit her like that?
" It's painful isn't it, I suppose that's how you want the princess to feel. We're not savages Felicia we're royals we do things with grace and pride not act like savages." She scolded them all .
" Your majesty, the humans are all beneath us I was only reminding --" Serena started but was interrupted
" Did she do anything that needed reminding Serena? That you couldn't use your words but such barbaric act." The queen confronted her
" She dared to negotiate with our king. If words got out it could be an excuse to take us for a joke." Serena counter back
" Need I remind you that she isn't a commoner she's royal too. The marriage was decided to form alliance with the humans to prevent wars from happening, or Serena tell me is there something I missed." Laura asked her looking down at her as if accepting her challenge
" Of course not your majesty." Serena bites out in anger
" Leave at once." Laura commanded an in an instant the princesses bowed down a little and scampered out of the room
The room fell quiet for a while. Laura turned to see Kathy on the floor, she smiled a little and bent down saying nothing she used her magic to heal her wounds. It wouldn't make the scars go away but it'll stopped the pain
" My son Lucien would have made the scars disappeared. He's a very talented healer the best in the whole of Eldrath." She looked absent minded as she spoke
" My queen, you don't have to do this I'm fine really ." Kathy tried to get up but groaned in pains
" Hush now dear. Honestly I don't know why I'm doing this why I took a liking to you, was it because you asked about Dylan or because you're just like me." Laura said as she continued to heal Kathy
" I'm just like you?" Kathy was confused, there was no way she was just like the queen
" I'm not talking about powers." Laura could guess what she was thinking about seeing the look on her face." Being in a place that is so different and having a adapt to it, and not being accepted immediately. Everyone thinks you don't belong or deserve to be here no less being the queen of the kingdom." Kathy saw how conflicted she was .
Laura looked at her and smiled. Emotions she had never felt in her entire life swept into her . Was this what it feels like to have a mother?
" I overcome it all and I expect you to do the same. Do not let anyone trample over you. You are still royalty it doesn't matter where you find yourself that blood and authority still holds, be as sweet and terrifying as you need to be to survive Kathryn. Do not bend to their will decide your own path and do whatever it is you choose to do." Kathy felt the words warm her.
Would she feel the same way if she found out that she was supposed to be the one to end her son.
" Thank you your majesty." She whispered Laura nodded and stood up
" Be yourself Kathryn, it's the only way you'll enjoy being here, don't change unless you need to." With that Laura turned and left the room the maids bowing as she left

Jamie went to meet Darla she was confined to her room by her uncle and Aunt who said she had brought disgrace to the family by befriending a human.
He opened the door when she saw him she stood up from her bed immediately.
" You have five minutes to explain what in hell you were doing with the human princess." Jamie said
" Is she alright?" Darla asked instead
" To hell with it all Darla, why did you try to escape with her. Did you tell her to release the tyrant as well?" He glared at her
" I wasn't going to escape with her, I was trying to help her escape about the tyrant I had no idea she was going to release it." Darla explained calmly
" You are ordered to go to Dylan's house with her." She creased her brows at the statement
" I beg your pardon."
" Orders from the King himself." Jamie said waiting to see her reaction
" I don't know anything if that's what you're trying to ask me Jamie. I have no idea what's going on in her mind. I saw someone today." Jamie didn't change his expressionless face at what she said
" I saw Lilith." Three seconds passed before Jamie blinked twice and scoffed
" Really Darla you're trying to evade me from the matter--"
" I'm not, I swear on Collins life, my eyes didn't deceive me because I fought with her myself and she didn't deny it." Jamie arch a brow he still looked as of he didn't believe her
" What did she want?" He asked nonchalantly
" She wanted to kill the princess." Darla replied
" Kill the princess? You expect me to believe that someone whose supposed to be dead magically came back to life and is trying to kill someone I believe she had never met. You should make your lies more believable Darla." Jamie rolled his eyes
" Why would she want to kill the princess? I remember she was very obsessed with his highness prince Dylan then." Darla said
Jamie looked at her as it all started to make sense to him. Lilith was alive and trying to kill the human? If it was true it only means Lilith knows that Dylan was alive and the princess was the only one who could kill him. Who told her? And why the hell was she still alive
" If what you say is true don't tell anyone not even Collins. You hear" after she nodded he relaxed a little." Prepare whatever it is you wish to prepare, you're leaving soon." He turned to leave but she stopped him
" Jamie Dylan's house is a little bit scary. You know that..." She couldn't complete her statement
" That his army is buried in the cave beneath the his mansion." Jamie completed it for her
" I heard they're not really dead that they... made a blood pact with Dylan that if he dies they die with him."
" And if he's alive they'll live with him except they die untimely and unexpected deaths. There's nothing to worry about since Dylan is dead and not alive so they'll remain dead." Jamie realized in shock that Dylan could raise them up again, but he didn't let it show
