Chapter 82: Chapter 82 : Seraphina and Alaric



It had already been two days after Elias and Margo set out on their quest to free the Flare folk, and everyone had started to carry on with their lives.

Those who were mere servants continued to serve, those who vowed to get stronger had begun to take action toward their goals and those who were assigned tasks had started to work on it.

The Queen walked barefooted, trying her best to be as quiet as possible as she followed King Alaric whilst under the guise of the Invisibility cloak Elias handed to her.

Trailing the king yielded no result for the spy Queen as the king just carried on with his day as usual: eating, sleeping, laughing, and merrying in general. Her spying yielded the same results as Elias when he, too, once tried to spy on the King.

The Queen was on the verge of giving up, but the thought of the light at the end of the tunnel, which was Elias' promised reward, kept her going. That and the fact that as a person, she never liked to fail,

"It's been two days of doing the same damn thing, all he does is eat and sleep. How can a king live like this, this is not the man I married," She complained quietly in frustration as she remained three steps behind Alaric and his guards

Her mind drifted to the time when King Alaric first tried to woo her; she was but a young lady of the Ravencrest house, no one important, and Alaric's first wife had died not too long ago, so she rejected him.

But King Alaric was sweet with his words and even sweeter with his actions; he sang her praises and bombarded her with flattery and gifts of all shapes and sizes.

She found herself slowly giving in to him; he was the hero of Elodoria, the great unifier, and he was interested in her. She finally gave in and accepted to marry him, even though she was significantly younger than him. Continue your saga on m|v-l'e m,p| y- r

Their wedding was grand and mighty; it shook the whole continent for days on end; great, noble, and respected people came from far and wide, the acts were plentiful, and the gifts seemed endless.

And on their wedding night, she discovered he was half as great as a man and king when it came to the Devil's tango, and his slightly less-than-average-sized member didn't help but she didn't mind, nobody was perfect after all, because she loved him regardless of his flaws, at least she thought she did.

With the way things had been unfolding recently, she realized that what she loved was not him, but the idea of him; the great King Alaric, unifier of Eldoria, that was who she fell in love with, and as soon as that image began to slip away, so did she too and she hated herself for it.

That was why she often tried to punish herself by trying various acts of punishment, but that didn't help. instead, rather than finding atonement or the satisfaction she craved, she found pleasure in the pain of being punished, of being broken apart and degraded.

She kept it to herself and only herself. Her husband was too kind of a man to indulge her fantasies, and she respected that greatly, and that was why she never cheated on him…until she met Elias, that is. He discovered her closely guarded secret somehow, and she caved in immediately.

Clang!

The sound of metal dropping to the ground resounded,

"Damn it!" She whispered as she realized she had toppled over a plate.

"A plate?" she was puzzled; she looked around and realized that she had unconsciously trailed King Alaric to the kitchen, "what in the world is he doing in the Kitchen? More food?"

King Alaric abruptly turned around, his attention focused on trying to find the source of the startling sound. His eyes focused on the toppled metal plate and he locked around suspiciously as if trying to see if anyone was around.

Queen Seraphina froze on the spot, trying her best to remain as quiet as possible. King Alaric slowly walked toward her; it was as if he could see her. He paused at her front, and at this point, the loudest sound from the Queen was the sound of her heartbeat thumping rapidly, a sweat trickling down her face.

"Hmmm," King Alaric squinted his eyes, and then suddenly, he waved his entire arm around, trying to feel for an invisible person, but luckily, the queen reacted in time, taking a step back and averting a major problem.

"What am I doing? Am I being paranoid? Me? A whole me?" He laughed nervously at his own behavior, "He is gone, temporarily for now, but soon I'll make it permanent." He added, his tone took a sinister pitch that Queen Seraphina had never heard before

She pressed her hand against her mouth, suppressing a gasp, 'He wants to get rid of Elias…permanently? Why? Isn't he supposed to be on the same side? Could he be working with the demons?' She thought to herself

King Alaric turned around and said a few words of power to a blank wall, and the wall immediately folded apart, revealing a secret room.

King Alaric looked around one more time before stepping into the room. Queen Seraphina was not surprised by this; she knew what the room was, and her husband had told her about it before. It was the room where King Alaric held meetings with his most trusted subordinates during the war of the 'Great Unification'.

She quickly followed behind Alaric as he entered and then returned to being a normal wall again.

The secret room was like any other room, nothing special, it had torches, chairs, tables, a fireplace, even a lavatory, the only thing was that it was secret.

Sitting on a chair sipping on a bottle of wine and reading a book was none other than Thane,

"What took you so long? I have been waiting for almost an hour," Thane asked, clearly annoyed

"I felt like I was being followed by someone, so I made sure to walk around a little more," King Alaric said

Thane raised an eyebrow, "Followed? By who?" He asked

"I don't know, it was nobody," Alaric replied

Thane frowned, "We cannot afford to be discovered! I have so much at stake! Do you know how much I have sacrificed?!" He shouted

With speed that Seraphina's eyes could not follow, Alaric closed the distance between him and Thane, and raised him up by his neck,

"Watch your tone lesser, remember who has the power here?" King Alaric warned
