Far away from the little cottage, a figure could be seen looming around the dark corridors of the Palace. He stopped around a corner and after glancing around, he disappeared behind a door.
"Your majesty," he bowed and then stood back straight, keeping his eyes lower. "As per your command." He raised a glass bottle towards her which showed off a milky liquid through its transparent surroundings.
"Very well," She took the bottle away from his hand and pushed it up her sleeve before continuing, "Now is the time we start working on our plan."
The man in front of the queen nodded his head. Even in the darkness, the evil glint in his dark eyes was pretty visible.
"I have also prepared a batch of men for the hunt." He informed her.
"Wonderful, I trust you with this. Once the King is out of our way, we will be unstoppable." She craned her neck higher. "I will be acquiring your assistance in something else as well."
"You shall find me obedient, my queen."
