Chapter 212 - The Queen’s Worries (2/2)
”Yes, I can see her high magic aptitude. That is why I selected her to be my son's wife. The offsprings in their union will surely be powerful.” Queen Patricia said. ”But she just had a backlash on her magic the other day and her body is still recovering. She wasn't able to withstand my gravity magic.”
High priest Hector nodded in understanding. ”Your magic power is really something after being amplified with the pendant. Similar to what you have done with the weather almost twenty years ago.” He said. ”This forever winter here in Jennovia was of your doing, correct?”
Queen's Patricia's face crumpled in the memory of what happened almost twenty years ago. That was the time that the former king of Jennovia took her as a hostage and made her his play thing. After the first time the former king r.a.p.ed her, she held the pendant hard and her grief and despair was overflowing. And that time she cursed him and all the land he governs.
”Yes, I was the one that cursed this land. It was because of that filthy man!” Queen Patricia roared in anger. ”I never thought that my magic will be amplified by the pendant tenfold. The magic imbued inside the pendant for sure was from the almighty one. He heard my prayers and cursed this land that filthy man governs. Do you hate me for doing so? You are a priest of this country after all.” She looked at high priest Hector with a mocking smile.
”I do not care of your own personal vendetta my queen. I am helping you because I have my own reasons. Please do not forget our deal.” High priest Hector maintained his calm smile.
”Hahaha, for a high priest you also have a dark heart. Knowing that the people of Jennovia are suffering because of the weather made by me, but you turn a blind eye because of your own personal agenda.” Queen Patricia sneered. ”Do not worry, I won't forget our deal. Once we win this war, you will get your just compensation. That is a youthful body having similar to immortality. It can be accomplished with the use of the forbidden magic in the hands of the chosen one.”
High priest Hector smiled. ”Thank you your majesty.”
”Anyways, what are the reports in the front lines?” Queen Patricia asked. ”Is our plan for a surprise attack in the Duess River on schedule?”
”Yes your majesty, all is in schedule. When the crown prince comes back with the army from Alvannia, we can commence the surprise attack and go in the offensive.” High priest Hector replied.
”We still don't have the forbidden magic within our grasp, but if we can kill that b*astard young king of Grandcrest we will have lesser problems to think about.” Queen Patricia said. ”He is currently a huge thorn in my plans.”
”Then what are your plans about the search for the other half of the pendant?” High priest Hector asked.
”I will leave the investigation of the pendant to you. See if it was really pawned in the village where my sister and niece were residing.” Queen Patricia said. ”I have a feeling that Alicia is hiding something from me.”
”Then what will you do if you find that your niece is a traitor?” High priest Hector asked.
”No matter, she is still useful to me and so I won't throw her away. And Gladiolus is infatuated with her. I don't want to incur my son's wrath.” Queen Patricia smiled while lifting her cupping. She took a sip of her tea.
