The plans were a long time coming. She had been waiting for the right moment, and now seemed like the time to do so. It was a ruse. The fainting spell was all part of the plan. It was time for her to make her grand exit, and lead the life she had been yearning for with Diane.
The look on Alistair's face said it all.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell any of us?" He whispered in a low voice.
Roxine smiled weakly, the pill she had taken was taking its full effect on her body.
"It was for all of our safety. There are too many listening ears in the castle," She held onto his hand.
"I don't know when's the next time we'll meet, but promise me one thing, Alistair," she said in almost a whisper.
"Anything, Roxine, anything."
She smiled at him as she asked him to lean in closer.
"Make Sierra queen."
