Elena really didn't understand what was going on and why Mila and Liam looked like they were up to something.Swiftly, Elena moved closer to Liam and said in a low tone to him. "You know what you are doing?" Elena hissed, she saw all pairs of eyes staring at Mila because now the future queen was walking straight to the healer named Ariel, who was assigned to take care of her before."You didn't give me another choice," Liam said in a calm tone, even though he wasn't really sure what kind of game Mila was playing at the moment, but there was no way he could turn his eyes away and oppose Mila in front of the crowd who were like hungry wolves that were struggling, waiting for an opening to tear Mila to pieces and bring her down.Liam would have plenty of time to ask Mila this, not now, but later he would find out what this unpredictable woman was really up to."Liam! I am not messing with my warnings!" Elena said through gritted teeth. She looked at Mila very sharply as the girl stopped

After that, Ariel splashed the water at Liam while muttering a spell that sounded like a song.Ariel repeated this two more times with her eyes closed and afterward she looked at Liam, and said. "How do you feel, Your Highness?" he asked.Liam did not expect that the procession would be so simple and said what he felt. "I feel nothing," he answered honestly.Ariel smiled. "Then there's nothing to worry about. You never came into contact with the powder."Then, after seeing that Liam was fine and that nothing had happened to him, the nobles seemed more relaxed and willing to be tested.It took less than half an hour for all the nobles to go through the procession, and none of them indicated that they had ever come into contact with the blinding powder.After all the nobles were done trying it, Ariel started with the elders.Elder Rang took the initiative to try it first, followed by the other five elders, leaving Elena as the last elder to be tested.During this fairly rapid process, E

Mila did not know what possessed her and pushed her to go to the great hall, where the royal thrones were.A strong desire, which prompted Mila to get out of bed and walk down the corridors which seemed almost deserted, except for the guards who were standing at their posts. They seem confused to find Mila coming out of her room so early.They didn't stop Mila as she walked into the great hall, but the questioning looks in their eyes, of course, couldn't be ignored.It's just that Mila didn’t want to pay attention to any of that right now, because her focus was only on what she wanted.Mila wanted to be on the throne again, sit in the high chair and experience the emotional surge that made her feel capable of doing or solving any difficult problem.The feeling was like a very strong opium.Slowly, Mila entered the large, absolutely deserted hall and walked across the black marble floor, to the throne before her, which was embellished with gold and gemstones.Mila climbed three steps a

"Stop Elena," Liam finally spoke up. He looked at Elena coldly and warned the woman not to continue her sentence."No," said Mila. "Talk. Tell me what really happened in this palace.” Mila ignored Cosmo's protests asking her to kill Elena straight away and didn't need to listen to the woman's cheap explanation.“Mila, it is not something you need to understand. It is not about a curse,” Liam said, trying to keep his voice from sounding like he was trying desperately to hide the truth from Mila.Mila then turned around to face Liam, her arms folded across her chest and she stared at the man with demanding eyes."Then tell me what happened." Mila shrugged nonchalantly, then looked at Liam with defiant eyes. "Looks like you're hiding a lot of secrets from me.""It's not a secret. It's just a rumour." Liam clenched his jaw tightly as he said this.“Okay, then I want to hear what the rumors are,” Mila said calmly then added. “Because yes, I saw the creature. The creature's name is Cosmo an

Mila returned with two guards and immediately ordered them to open the chains that bound Elena's body.However, the two of them did not immediately do what Mila ordered, but looked at Liam, asking permission from the king to do what Mila wanted.Of course this infuriated Mila and she glared at Liam angrily, challenging him to say the opposite of what she said.For a while, they stared at each other like that, until finally Liam nodded and allowed them to do as Mila said.Immediately, the chains wrapped around Elena's body were released and she quickly stood up straight, despite the pain she still felt.Because her pride would not allow her to kneel in front of the two guards for long. Elena grimaced and groaned, and cast a hostile look at Mila and Liam."Get out of my sight," Elena growled at the two guards, because she didn't want them to see her in her current state any longer. The elder really felt humiliated in this way."Now tell me what do you know about this curse?" Mila asked
