The silence of the night was broken by the heavy footsteps marching through the corridor. A tall, slim figure in a magnificent red gown was fast approaching the master chamber. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a heavy crown on her head. Her pale skin shone through the dimly lit corridors but the beautiful features were marred by a look of disgust and fury. The cold vengeance in her heart was further fueled by the antics of that man.
"Your highness!" a maid cried out. She was following the red queen through the long path, panting heavily but the Empress had no intentions of slowing down. "You highness please calm down!"
But Shina did not care. The man had insulted her enough! First he took away her father, then her freedom and now she was being stripped off the last shred of dignity.
