Chapter 228 - Confrontation (2) (2/2)
”W-What just happened?” The queen asked while still in disarray. She looked around and saw a sea of flames dancing around the area.
”Well, well, well. Look what we found here.” A chilling voice was heard behind the sea of flames before her.
The flames were dancing in the night wind, like it was being controlled. In the gaps of the flames, the queen saw a young man in black. His hair was as black as night, his eyes were like gleaming sapphires against the raging flames.
”I was wondering where you were queen. I was lucky to find you just in time.” The young man's smile was chilling. The queen can feel the fear behind that smile.
”Y-You…” The queen stuttered. ”The young king of Grandrest. Why are you here?” The queen pointed at him in disbelief. It was as if she was looking at a ghost.
Regaleon walked thru the sea of flames. The flames parted as if letting him through on purpose.
”I heard that the great queen of Jennovia personally sailed with her fleet to battle.” Regaleon grinned. ”It is courtesy for a royal from Grandcrest to receive a royal from Jennovia, correct?”
It was a custom from the four countries in the past that if a royal was to visit another country, then also another royal was to receive the guest.
”Y-You… presumptuous!” The queen yelled in anger.
”Hahahaha… What did you expect Queen Patricia?” Regaleon said mockingly. ”Is my welcoming party not to your taste?” His grin was mocking the queen that infuriated her.
”How did you know?!” The queen asked furiously. ”The plan should have been flawless.”
”I have my means, queen. And I have no intentions on showing my cards, of course.” Regaleon said. ”Of course I am here to escort you to our country. Are you ready Queen Patricia?”
The queen was shivering in fear. She didn't know why she was frightened with a young brat like him.
'I am older and more experienced than him. I have gone thru more difficulties than this. But why am I shivering in fear in front of him?' The queen thought. ”I need to get out of here, I need to escape.'
Regaleon took another step, making his distance to the queen lessen.
”Don't come any closer!” The queen yelled.
Regaleon was about to board the ship the where queen was. Her fear was enveloping her whole being. Regaleon's every step was frightening to here.
”I said do not come any closer!” The queen yelled more loudly and took a step back. She waved her hand towards where Regaleon was.
The ship where Regaleon was standing started to shake violently. And out of nowhere the ship started to break.
”Ugh.” Regaleon knelt on one knee. He can feel his body becoming heavier and heavier, as if a boulder was pressing on top of him.
”Your majesty!” Dimitri shouted.
With this Regaleon fought off the heavy feeling and stood up. Dimitri ran towards him and helped him and they jump of the ship they were standing to the other ship. The ship they were at broke into pieces like it was crushed by an unseen force and started to sink beneath the sea.
”So, this is your magic power.” Regaleon stood up after feeling that the force weighing on him was lifted. ”I can't let my guard down just because you are a woman.”
Regaleon pulled his sword out of its sheath and pointed it towards the queen.
