Chapter 257 - She is the Chosen One (2) (2/2)
”Gladiolus, my son. I won't kill her, just come back here where it's safe.” Queen Patricia said with heartfelt please.
”Let the guards fall back first.” Gladiolus said, still doubting his mother.
”If that is what you wish.” Queen Patricia nodded. ”Fall back.” She ordered the guards around.
The guards listened to the queen's order and retreated. When Gladiolus saw this he heaved a sigh of relief.
”Come now my son.” Queen Patricia said sweetly to Gladiolus.
Seeing that his mother has come back to her senses, Gladiolus slowly walked back to where his mother was.
”Thank you mother.” Gladiolus said once he was just near her.
”You know that you are everything to me my son.” Queen Patricia looked at her son livingly. ”You are all that is left of your father top me. I will do everything in my power to give to you what is rightfully yours.”
Queen Patricia caressed her son's cheek lovingly and smiled to him sweetly. But deep inside Gladiolus, his mother's words was suspicious. He can't erase the doubt that his mother can still hurt the one he loves.
”Just stand here and I will erase the existence that threatens your destiny my son.” Queen Patricia's sweet smile warped into a cold sneer. Gladiolus cannot believe his mother's sudden change of personality.
”No…don't to this mother.” Gladiolus said. He tried to move and stop his mother but he was pinned down in place. ”No, why can't I move?”
Gladiolus looked at his mother suspiciously and knew that this was his mother's gravity magic.
”Mother, let me go…. don't do this.” Gladiolus tried to escape but he can't even move a muscle. His pleas were sent to deaf ears and the queen stepped forward.
From nowhere, Queen Patricia was holding a bow and arrow in her hands and pointed where Alicia was. The arrow glowed with a dark purple hue while the queen aimed for Alicia.
”No, mother please don't…” Gladiolus was now shedding tears, pleading for his mother. He tried to move but still was unsuccessful.
*Shwung*
Queen Patricia released the arrow with her gravity magic and the sound that came with it resounded in the area. It passed thru Alicia's force field and the arrow struck Alicia's shoulders. Blood trickled from the wound where the arrow was sticking and the force field was simmering.
”NO!!!....” Gladiolus screamed in agony. It was as if he was also struck with the arrow. ”Stop it… MOTHER!”
”It has been a while since I practiced archery.” Queen Patricia said and took another arrow and put in on her bow. ”I won't miss this one.”
Alicia's force field crumbled after sometime and the wound on her shoulder was bleeding. The queen pulled the bow and aimed at her again.
Alicia's consciousness was starting to return. She can feel the excruciating pain on her shoulder. Her eyes were blurry at first but were now starting to get cleared by time. By then she saw Queen Patricia at a distance, aiming an arrow at her. By the time her eye sight became clear, the queen shot the arrow with gravity magic once more. She saw Gladiolus was screaming to his mother to stop, she can see he was pleading in agony.
'Is this the end?' Alicia thought.
The arrow was heading straight to her heart.
