The Royal Mark-Chapter 237: Take Arcanis Back
After freeing all the werewolves loyal to Chris, Arla, and Dasher gathered everyone and laid out their plan. Many of them were in bad condition but Rylie and Elsa were able to heal them back in perfect condition.
"Where are they Ciel?" Elsa asked after Ciel finished scouting the castle.
[The bitch is in the castle ground checking the gifts that were being sent in advance by the nobles.]
Elsa signaled Baahu, Kaizer, and Rylie to look for Laureen, Gavin, and Aeson who were taken to one of the towers.
She then turned to everyone and exclaimed, "Everyone, listen up. We will enter the castle grounds from the garden. The earth and water mages that will come from the south might not be able to make it in time once we attack.
But remember I am your Luna, all of you are linked to me. My healing powers are yours to enjoy and take advantage of. If we don’t attack now, we might not be able to bring Christopher back.
All of you are immune to the witches’ curses, give our enemies all you’ve got.
We. Will. Save. Our. King!
We will reclaim what the witch queen has taken from the werewolves.
We. Will. Take. Arcanis. Back!"
The werewolves rejoice and Dasher immediately removes the barrier that he and Elandir created. Everyone carefully ran to the former’s queen garden and hid there waiting for the perfect movement and Elsa’s go signal.
Elsa, Arla, and Elandir together with Ciel moved closer to the castle ground trying to spot Queen Yvonne. They didn’t have a hard time finding her since she was just in the castle’s entrance standing in front of the long queue of servants sending the gifts of their masters.
"I can see some of the mages who went with Prince Andrius in the queue. Shall we look for him?" Arla informed Elsa and Elandir but no one replied to her.
She quickly shifted her gaze to Elsa whose hands were clenched and her eyes were starting to glow. When she followed her line of sight, she saw Queen Yvonne standing between Prince Christopher and King Alaric.
But that’s not all, the witch queen’s arms were both snaked around the prince’s and the king’s arms as they received the gifts.
"Elsa, this is not yet the right time. We agreed to wait for King Stefan’s entourage to arrive," Elandir whispered as low as he could that Elsa could hear.
But it was no use, Elsa stood up and walked towards the crowd. Soon her hands lit up and became engulfed in fire.
"Fuck! This is so wrong. Find a werewolf that could alert Baahu, Kaizer, and Rylie to hurry up in healing Aeson and Gavin. We need them now!" Elandir instructed Arla, who wasted no time and ran back to where the werewolves were.
Everyone immediately noticed Elsa, who was now with glowing eyes as if would explode like a nuclear bomb any moment.
"So you find out a way huh? I didn’t expect you would figure it out this fast with Vectus’ primitive technology. But I must thank you for gracing us with your presence, perhaps you brought us a gift or–"
Elsa did not wait for Queen Yvonne to finish talking and shot a fireball at her. To her surprise, it didn’t hit the witch queen causing her to laugh out loud.
"Why?" Elsa murmured to herself while watching Chris’ wound from her fireball heal at a very fast rate after he protected Queen Yvonne.
"As you can see, my guinea pig is slowly turning into my puppet. It is proof that Science and magic can be combined. I can even cut the effect of your link to your pack. Since it is so rude of you to not bring any gifts, allow me to gift you instead."
Queen Yvonne wrapped her arms around Chris’ neck infuriating Elsa more. She glanced at Elsa one more time before commanding Chris, "My Prince, could you kindly show our uninvited guest how much you devote yourself to me by giving me a passionate kiss?"
Elsa’s eyes widened in shock when Chris placed his hands on Queen Yvonne’s waist and said, "Yes, My Queen."
Her heart breaks into a million pieces as tears flow from her eyes while she stares at Chris slowly lowering his head to meet Yvonne’s lips. Everything seems to be in slow motion from her perspective.
Her whole body went ablaze as a gust of wind slowly encircled her and soon engulfed her whole being. The crowd who were watching earlier now ran away as fast as they could from the scene.
Small and big burning embers start to fly and get thrown away in all directions from where Elsa stands. The wind that was encircling her proliferated greatly and now mixed with fire.
Screams and wails could be heard from all the people running away from her and getting hit by her fire. But for Elsa, it was silent. There was no sound in the middle of that burning inferno. She was inside a flaming tornado that even she could not control.
She didn’t even know if she was still breathing, all she could feel was the pain in her heart and the rest was numb. All her happy memories of Chris and Nadel were being flashed before he, increasing the ache in her heart.
She tried controlling her power for she knew that both innocent people and their allies were there. But the pain that she is feeling is turning into anger and rage. She was becoming hungry and thirsty to unleash her fury... Thirsty to kill Yvonne...
’Help me... I am losing control... Please, help me... Help me, Ciel!’
Elsa screamed in her mind trying to reach her old cranky dog.
[Are you calling for me, my dear princess?]
She heard Ciel’s voice. ’Ciel, my eyes are burning. I can feel my hands slowly moving and I’m going to obliterate everything in front of me, including Chris! Please, help me!’ Elsa begged her dog. Not only has she lost control of her power, but, she can feel that she is also slowly losing control of her body.
[I see... It would be my honor, princess...]
