Her ears were ringing. As she looked all around. She was looking for Dante. But he was nowhere to be seen. When everyone's vision returned back to normal, all of them were shocked.
Margaret was the first to rush to Laina, checking on her to make sure she was alright. The newly crowned Queen was shaking, trembling. Her eyes darted from side to side, looking for Dante.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon King had vanished into thin air right before their eyes. All that was left was a burnt patch on the balcony where he once stood.
"Laina, Laina, are you alright? Can you hear me?" Margaret asked as she cupped Laina's face, trying to get her to focus on her.
But she could not hear anything that Margaret had said. Her ears were still ringing. She tried to speak, but she could not do so. Laina furrowed her eyebrows, trying to recall what had just happened.
Her eyes rolled back. Laina slumped into Margaret's arms, passed out.
