Iris wasn't sure what was taking Queen Asheera so long to change her. She knew the Faerie Queen intended to change her into one of them. A fae that could outlive any human beings and rule Shayla Kingdom as a puppet queen, which was no different from a Night Critter that was being controlled by a powerful darkling.
She wasn't sure what she should expect from that point onwards, but her will to live continued to decrease with each passing day. Iris felt like she was waiting for her execution day. She didn't want to hope too much that Yuri and the others would come to her rescue.
Despite being kept in the golden greenhouse, Iris didn't have many visitors who came to see her. Except for Cyil, who occasionally dropped by, sneaking in to give her something to eat. Iris was sure that Queen Asheera was forcing her to get weaker, refusing to feed her or allow her to drink anything.
