Chapter 652
“You stand here.” Rose spat at Cherry. “And speak about me, when all I’ve done is clean up your own mess!”
Cherry was breathing very hard.
“And yet you dare claim to be a better Queen?” Rose hissed in venom, her entire body shaking. “Do you think I ever wanted to be Queen? For once that I wanted to? Do you know how terrible I felt because the crown rejected you even when it was your right to take it and gave me instead and-
Then Rose paused and took a breath. “I forgot. The crown was never meant to be yours in the first place. It belonged to Cardinal, our brother, he was the first and he was supposed to be King until his along with mother and father’s untimely death.”
“Get out of here.” Cherry hissed at Hildegard.
She could not stand her sister’s stupid servant listening and watching her being ridiculed.
“She is going nowhere.” Rose said. “She is a member of this family and she shall stay.”
Cherry sneered at Hildegard who still remained standing in Jasmine’s clothes.
“I climbed that throne young. I never wanted it in the first place. I had no one to turn to. You were supposed to be there for me rather you stood afar and watched me sink. You despised me all those years for everything. Even Roland. You hated me because he married me. You both still hate each other to this day.”
Cherry swallowed hard the tears struggling to stay hidden.
“I knew all of this. The crown, the kingdom, the man they were all meant for you but the goddess gave me.” Rose said pointing her chest. “You resented me. You set me up for chaos when you let Bale attack Xaden’s family and I still pleaded for you to be forgiven. And this is how you pay me back?”
Cherry gritted her teeth together in rage and said. “I might have had no one and you may have taken everything away from me, but the one daughter you had, became my own and you abandoned her.”
Rose looked as though she had been slapped.
She paused, Cherry county predict what she wanted to do.
She chewed her bottom lip, enraged and watched her sister who had stolen everything she owned, burn in anger.
Cherry saw the fire flicker and she knew that Rose’s power was taking form.
Before anything could happen, the door was flung open.
The glasses in the hall shattered into a million pieces, a flash of very cold air flew in and things came tumbling.
The items were flung aside with such mystical force that even Cherry’s power was attacked.
She felt a power drain and she knew instantly that someone with magic was here.
It shocked her because she had drawn a barrier preventing anyone with magic from stepping into the pack.
How the hell did someone break this barrier.
Cherry put her hand up trying to block the air.
“Your majesty.” The guards said rushing past her and heading for Rose.
Rose became furious but swallowed her anger.
There was now apparently bigger fish to fry.
Soon a dark figure appeared in the doorway and Cherry squinted her eyes.
“Stay back!” The guards shifted and rushed at the dark figure.
But in a matter of seconds they were whimpering on the floor before even getting close to the dark figure.
They went still and Cherry was now tensed, wondering who this was.
She was tempered to use her power but then Rose would know she was using magic all this while.
And magic was banned in the pack.
Rose came down from the steps of the throne completely and moved Cherry added.
Rose used fire in her palm and was in a position that showed she was ready to attack.
Her eyes were a blazing red and her red hair was now lit with fire.
“Stay behind me.” She said to Hildegard who hovered behind her.
Cherry rolled eyes in annoyance that her sister was now taking the spotlight.
She could use magic stronger than her wolf powers.
The dark figure progressed until soon there was a woman standing in front of them.
She was young and beautiful with perfectly wavy black hair, she had a definite cheek bones and perfectly curved lips.
Her eyes were an unusual color and from her olive skin, she looked twenty four.
Much too young.
“Your majesty.” The girl said with a smile at Rose.
Cherry blinked.
Did Rose know this mage?
Rose seemed to squint to be sure who she was seeing.
The girl smiled. “Didn’t you get my message? i told you I was coming tonight.”
Cherry was now looking at Rose to the girl trying to understand what the devil was going on.
And then recognition crept on her face. “Flame?”
Cherry became chilled.
The girl smiled and nodded. “Yes your majesty.”
She had heard of the flame.
A mage who was notorious of being very powerful and so dangerous that others with magic feared her.
But no one knew what she was looking at.
Rose leveled her hand and soon the fire from her palm, her blazing fire eyes and her hair on fire all went back to normal.
“What is she doing here?!” Cherry demanded. “Magic isn’t allowed.”
“I allowed her in.” Rose said with a hint of warning and Cherry took a step back.
“I’m sorry about the disturbances.” The flame said as she looked behind to see the wolves. “They will be fine. Just made them sedated. And sorry about the mess. There is a barrier blocking magic I had to break it.”
Cherry froze.
“What barrier?” Rose asked.
“A magical barrier.” The flame explained. “It prevents other magic from getting in.”
Rose didn’t say a word and then cleared her throat. “I never put a magical barrier in my Kingdom.”
There was eerie silence in the room.
One that had Cherry on her tip toes.
“Well if you didn’t then who did?” The flame asked.
