บททั้งหมดของ Queen Luna's Revenge - The Victim or The Villain: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Taisiya, the Duke's close friend and confidante, or was it something much more? Yes, it was so much more.She was becoming desperate. After looking around the castle some more, she secretly sought information on his whereabouts, asking if they had seen him. Nothing. She needed to see him, and it was clear he was not there. She recalled the voting at midday, a crucial event that could determine the future of the Kingdom.Taisiya's shoulders relaxed slightly, but she was not yet convinced, leaving her with only one choice.With no other option in sight, she resolved to visit his home, her determination tenacious in her quest to find him. Taisiya grimaced at the thought of his mother. But no matter, she would brave that wretched woman to know if he was alright.Moments later, Taisiya was leaving her room after grabbing a coat and gloves, putting on more suitable footwear and a jacket, and hastily making her way to a carriage.Then, midway, she realized it would be faster and more appro

Taisiya knew she needed to escape this room momentarily to regroup. Duke Chapman's gaze was becoming intoxicating, almost suffocating. The longer they gazed upon each other from across the room, the more she felt unable to breathe.There was an undeniable pull toward him, and Taisiya did not like it one bit. At the same time, her inner being hoped she would be followed when she slipped away. Soon enough, after all the introductions, casually light conversations, and a drink or two, Taisiya felt it appropriate to excuse herself to the powder room for fresh air. After all, cigars and other gentlemanly treats kept the men busy.She soon whispered into Jairus's ear while her eyes bore into Chapman's, who was now chatting with a Vampyre, Earl Phillippe Paulsen, on the other side of the room. Duke Chapman soon whispered something to the Earl, quickly excusing himself and slipping out the back after he observed Taisiya.Taisiya ran straight past the powder room, through the kitchen, and ou

Back in familiar surroundings, Taisiya, though feeling defeated and weak in her body and mind, was resolute in grappling with the weight of her responsibilities and the fear of failing again. This visit, while it did provide her with some much-needed support, also stirred a sense of impending conflict within her, a war between her determination and her doubts.The only thing was her enemy's elusivity. Elder Raul Zev was cunning, and she wondered who was backing him. This only made her more vengeful, snapping at anything and everyone.Her plans to be the trusted Queen to step in were no longer possible the way she'd initially planned. But when she returned home, Taisiya was reminded of what she was working towards.The wasteland they called home, where they hid from other sea creatures while trying to survive in an almost un-survivable place, was hard to ignore.Down there it was always dark and cloudy, except when the starfish graced them with their magnificent presence, glowing iride

Now, Aakifahlynn had a plan for today. She wore her usual boots, trousers, and long dress with a three-inch belt at the waist. Her hair was up in a messy bun, with little loose tendrils falling over her forehead and to the side of her face.Her makeup was barely there, as she preferred it. However, right now, she moved through the Palace like a fly on the wall—well... literally. It was her favorite trick to spy, just like when she spied on Jairus and Taisiya on her first day back.It had been a few hours, and nothing stood out to her in this forbidden area, a place she had never been allowed to enter before. It was like this new Emperor, who had taken over, did not exist. It seemed as if he was a ghost and this left a determined Aakifahlynn perplexed. Worried even, however, Aakifahlynn was not prepared for what she was about to find, more so who and the truth that would be revealed.After Rounding a few more corners and poking in some more empty rooms, even flying in on some palace

Aakifahlynn was sorry she missed the opening but was too busy recovering from draining her strength after healing folks at a hospital and then having to recuperate. Nevertheless, she told him not to let her absence keep him from moving forward in their adventures; she would show up when she could to check on things.Plus, Aakifahlynn preferred the surprised visits; keeping him on his toes is always better. However, she must admit he still had that eagerness to help in any way she wanted after their encounter that faithful day she visited the Stygian.Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn learned that Taisiya does not exist, literally. She was found washed ashore at the age of sixteen with no family.And this Jarrod had confirmed as he lived it. He was there when Jairus brought her home. Taisiya had woven a web of lies throughout her life, leaving a lingering mystery about her true identity. Even Spencer, who had his men gather all the intel, was unsure. But he went on to explain his spy's find
