"Arrest her!" The words echoed in the room sending the knights aghast. Arresting the human princess would not only be foolish of a queen but also a breach of the treaty!
The Queen's eyes fell on the hesitant knights who exchanged confused glances. "Should I repeat myself?"
Elena was awestruck all this time, with little Lilith tagging her skirts even harder. No, she wouldn't do it! The queen would never do such a thing! She'd be foolish enough to even think of it. Imprisoning a foreign princess in her husband's home, that was unheard of!
The knights swung into action and tore Lilith from Elena's skirts. "We're sorry princess," they said and motioned her to move forward.
Elena's eyes met with the Queen's, and in the briefest of seconds she stared at her, she saw her smirk in victory. Not an ounce of regret was laced in her face.
