Bloody Eyes
|Bab 53|
After her iconic speech, Luana turned her back on everyone and everything and left without looking back. No one dared to move it. If you think that nothing was foreseen before, you are wrong. Everything had been planned exactly in the castle hall, when the queen and Daniela were on their way to the throne room. It's not too difficult to predict what will happen when you know Owen's explosive behavior very well and you have a beautiful, strong woman by your side who is able to see - almost - everything all time. It was clear that his reaction would be something that would make him uncontrollable and far more furious than usual, after all, the werewolves of a generation earlier had "forgiven" the hostility imposed by the vampire race. But it was not because they forgave so there was no disagreement between them.
Werewolves have never been loyal to anyone but their Supreme Alpha and this is only loyal to the Blood Eye Queen. It is called the Blood Queen. The last to ascend the throne was Harvey's great-grandmother, who a century ago was found dead mysteriously just weeks after the death of the tallest wolf. All beings have sought explanations, but none have been found and fewer can be explained. But after all, since when was there a way to justify the supernatural? No one could ever know at least what power this queen carried and whether her death could have some sort of connection with the death of her ally. Everything began to happen after the death of this last queen, this was the truth that everyone knew.
A generation ago, everyone was at peace until Owen was crowned and started a war against Mishthre. The smallest of them but not the least deadly. Some species even went extinct and if not, after the battlefield, they were never seen again. A war to conquer a queen who was not even conquered at all. It was nothing but surrender. Merleah ends everything by declaring herself a part of her real kingdom and leaving behind a lineage that will make her the queen of everything with Owen, as expected because her brother was on the verge of death while Layton — in too young—she kept herself safe. They will say that this is a stupid choice, but for everything there is a reason though it has not been seen. But even so Merleah's motives still tickle.
Luana's main intention was to leave the throne room and head to her room in the northwestern tower, but there were still issues to be resolved that morning — or maybe in the morning. A special person must serve him before the others, only in a different way: the two swear allegiance to each other in a just way, because Luana will never let him humble himself. He should have been the first. They should. So, instead of heading right towards north, Luana goes left – to south –, towards the main entrance of the castle, the hall where there are stairs that give access to the first floor, the, as it turns out this is the only way to gain access to the floor.
Through the corridor, Luana only meets a waitress who is in a hurry - perhaps wanting a break - and a sleepy guard at her night watch. Night watchmen do not usually look tired because they rest during the day, but it should be considered that the day is long and no one has a choice to sleep, he said, because everyone was busy preparing for the party that was currently still going on. it was rolling freely, and was released on the hill. The castle looked so lifeless at that time. Three mornings. The entrance hall was quiet but bright like daylight, definitely a magic effect since there were no torches around. Instead, there was a large chandelier installed on the high ceiling, made of small fine red crystal, the largest and most beautiful in the middle. It's amazing indeed. It even looked like tiny droplets of blood that froze in the air, floating. No wonder this was the Kingdom of Blood and Shadow. There are so many stories behind Wendville!
Reddish sky outside window, big door, dark, and heavy—closed. The queen then crossed the hall and quickly climbed the stairs with the help of her supernatural speed, the faster she was, the less likely people were to see her. Although there is no need to question him—sang queen. But surely gossip can get to the ears of an unwanted person - Owen for example - who likes to use everything he knows to trap others. And it was rather suspicious that he was there instead of heading to his room to rest. Run in an extreme, nostalgic way the woods are invading you, Daniela's shared feeling is free. Luana ran through all the silent corridors in a matter of seconds, stopping without difficulty in front of Daniela's room door.
Luana ran towards the bedroom opening the door without a care as they slammed shut again behind her. Is correct. She dried her hands anxiously on her dress and, this time calmer, walked towards the crowded table next to the window. Nothing in the first drawer and endless chaos in the second drawer — how did Dani manage to find everything she needed in between? — the third, finally, sighed. At least there are drawers neatly arranged with stationery, ink, and quill pens. Quickly picking up a piece, Luana pushed a few books from the middle of the table to give her space to write. But how do you make Daniela realize that she is there quickly? An idea flows within him.it may be dangerous if someone finds it first, but if you don't take the plunge...
The queen then took the black feather from the drawer and in one of her sharp fangs, made an incision on her right index finger, using her own blood as ink. That way, Daniela would smell her blood and find the note quickly. Then, in front of one of the open glass windows where the curtain fluttered, in partial eclipse light, he wrote:
Meet me in the same room as the wedding day at 9am.
Soon after, Luana placed the note under one of Dani's pillows and in the embers of the fireplace in the living room she threw away the fur, waiting until the fire turns her to ashes and like a breeze at dawn, the queen retraces everything.
