It took longer than she expected, but Alexander finally realized that Raxithak wasn't coming back.
Killing Raxithak was hard, but convincing Alexander to go find the Abbot's corpse was harder.
Of course, Princess Aurelia had to sacrifice herself just for the king to snap and find his other half. It was five months after Raxithak was drowned, and both the princess and the demon were getting impatient. Thus, Princess Aurelia decided to pick out her best wine and best poison. She knew poison won't do shit to Alexander, but what matters was the message that she's sending. Well, if the poison managed to kill the king, then her work would be easier than expected. But luck was never on her side, so she just had to hope that her message was sent.
For the first time in months, she properly brushed her hair, which grew a few inches longer since her last haircut. Then, she got a fur cloak and ran to the stables. No knight accompanied her as she made her way to the kingdom next door.
