Queen Seraphina paced back and forth around her room; she was in deep thought as to the secret she had stumbled on. She looked troubled, her palms and forehead were sweating. Her dress wasn't worn as proper as she would normally wear it, and he had taken on a pale complexion.

"What do I do? Where do I even begin?"

After pacing for a while she got tired and fell backward on her bed, "It's been three days, please come back soon, Elias," She sighed

The door creaked open, and King Alaric walked in; Queen Seraphina sat up immediately after he entered.

"My beautiful wife, how are you doing?" He asked as he approached her.

He leaned over and planted a kiss on her lips, the Queen moved her head back, but she didn't reciprocate his kiss,

"Hmm, Isn't this what you have been craving?" He asked, a wry smile on his face

Queen Seraphina didn't answer, her heart was racing, pounding hard against her chest. King Alaric had been acting strange toward her since the day she found out about him and Lord Thane's plan. She had a feeling he knew she was the one that spied on them.

He didn't confront her or show any animosity towards her at all, but it was obvious he had changed. He no longer spent most of his time lying around or throwing unnecessary feasts; he became more focused as if he was diverting all his time and attention to his 'plans.'

Queen Seraphina didn't feel safe anymore, for fear of being poisoned, she had Lillian personally source for ingredients and cook her meals. For fear of being killed in her sleep, she stayed awake all night and even when she took short naps, she didn't fully commit to it. She was paranoid.

King Alaric placed his hands on her forehead, "You look unwell, have you been eating and sleeping well?" He asked, his tone dripping with false concern, "I wouldn't want nothing to happen to Eldoria's precious Queen, would I? What kind of a man would I be?"

Queen Seraphina slapped his hands away, "You know just what kind of a man you are, you vile scum!" She snapped at him

"Hahaha," King Alaric laughed, "Is that any way to speak to your husband? If you aren't careful, I'll send you back to your dead father's house.

Imagine the shame it would bring to the Ravencrest house or maybe I'll just call Thane in, and I'll give him what he always wanted.

I'll let him have a taste of the beautiful Seraphina he so desperately craves," He said, stroking her face as he spoke

Disgusted and angered by King Alaric's words, Queen Seraphina spat on his face, "I don't know who you are, but you're not the man I married. You're even worse than scum!" She sneered

King Alaric touched his face and looked at his hands; the Queen wasn't stingy with her saliva. He then looked back at the queen, with speed that the Queen could not conceive, and he took a hold of her neck.

"How dare you, you damn lesser!" He barked, his grip on the Queen's neck tightened and she struggled to break free.

She desperately hit his hand, hoping it would budge even slightly, but it didn't. Her face was turning red and her eyes grew wild as she craved release,

"Take it back, take your filthy saliva back. Lick it off," King Alaric commanded, his eyes filled with rage, "Do it or I'll snap your neck, trust me it won't be hard to explain your death," he added, as his eyes turned as black as night

He pulled her face closer to his, and looking at those soulless black eyes; the queen realized that King Alaric's threats were far from empty. It was either compliance or death at this point.

Tears streamed down her face as she extended her tongue and began to lap up her own saliva directly from King Alaric's face. She licked his face clean.

King Alaric touched his face, "Hmph, it even made it worse. Such filth," he scoffed as he released his grip

The Queen dropped to her knees and fell into a coughing fit, she took greedy breaths of fresh air as she coughed. Had she been held in that chokehold any longer, she would have died.

She held her bruised neck, and her tears fell like spring rain as she began to sob; she looked at King Alaric and didn't see even a shred of empathy on his face. That man was no longer her husband. King Alaric doused his face with a damp wash cloth, "Disgusting," He muttered

Queen Seraphina had steadied her breath now, but her throat still ached, even through the pain, she opened her mouth to speak, "You! I curse you with my entire being. I curse you with a slow painful death, you animal.

When Elias comes back, he will put a dagger through the heart of your evil plans, and he will condemn you and the demons who are with you!" She shouted

King Alaric turned around and smiled, "Ooh I'm so scared. Elias is coming," He said, badly mimicking her voice as he mocked her; his face then suddenly took a serious tone, and his entire aura and demeanor changed, "If I wanted it, Elias Ashdown would be dead by now, but sadly my mission forbids me from killing that cocky brat.

By the time your savior, Elias, comes back, my job here would have been complete,d, and I would have been long gone," He said as his eyes turned black once again before returning to their normal color.

Without saying another word, he walked out of the room, leaving Queen Seraphina scared and speechless.

After he left, she picked herself up, "Those eyes, I wasn't just seeing things because I was suffocating, they were real. Those are the eyes of a demon," She muttered, "My husband—No, King Alaric has become a demon!" She exclaimed Explore more stories with m,v l'e-NovelFire.net

"Elias Ashdown, please hurry up and come back, Eldoria needs you," She said to no one in particular, a somber expression on her face.

She touched her bruised neck again, and her expression changed. She had an angry and determined look on her face, "In the meantime, as the Queen, I'll do my best to stop those animals!" Queen Seraphina declared
