Chapter 10 Queen Lyn 2

It seemed like her taunting worked, since General Teo doesn't hesitate to voice his opinions.

"My Queen, you truly live up to your name. Since that is the case, I will not hold anything back either. I received confirmation, from the people you discovered alongside Madam Miley. That they were there when you found me too."

"I see."

Those words were the only words she said. For the next few minutes, she focused on sparing and he followed her lead not saying a word.

"The one who gave me this clue, was the King."

"When?"

"Earlier on this year, he...he was already on to something."

While her husband had a bad habit of disappearing a lot, it was only this year when things got really bad. No, "Three years ago.. After the battle in , did he tell you anything?"

"He seemed insistent to go after the snow kingdom Queen. He told me it was dangerous to confront the final enemy alone. But the snow queen dealt with the last remains of the enemy swiftly, and the battle truly ended. So I thought nothing of his warning.." Teo trailed of, "I realized that was a mistake of mine and can't apologize enough. I should have informed you."

"No, if he didn't tell me. Then, surely he knew it would not be a piece of news I'd be able to take."

That man knows everything about her, the battle of ' ' took place only three months after she ascended the throne, and married him. It's natural that he kept it from her, knowing full well she had yet to adapt to her circumnstancss.

"Queen Lyn, I'll be straight forward with you."

She doesn't respond and continued with her attacks.

"The Snow Kingdom Queen was possessed by the final enemy. The demon of "

Her attacks grew more vicious then, but careless as general Teo knocked the blade away. "My Queen, I know this pains you. But this idea will align with the reports from the snow kingdom. I confirmed this with someone who managed to leave the snow kingdom grounds. The snow Queen, your friend Queen J is not sane. The damage she has done towards her people is of unbelievable scale. What must be done..."

"I know." Lyn exclaimed, "I know, I already know.." She already knew didn't she? Even without hearing all this. Even without sending her head Knight and mage out onto the battlefield. She already knew. that she shouldn't have let J go alone that day.

But her present state did not grant her the luxury to tag along with her friend, let alone be the one to confront the enemy. J couldn't defeat him and was possessed, that's why she stopped contact with her. The last three years, J, the demon inside her friend has been plotting revenge against her and now it's finally showing.

"Queen Lyn.."

Lyn walked over and picked up the sword, "I know…" She knows, and that's why. That's why she has to resolve herself to fight.

Pupillam who had been patrolling early noticed the Queen leave her chambers, and decided to follow her. Seeing Teo, she assumed they had matters to discuss and was about to leave. But when she saw the blades, she understood and remained hidden and silently watched the match. She's been serving the Queen, since long before she became a Queen. Since she was only a princess. That's why Pupillam knew full well, the Queen's state of mind is in a mess. Since the Snow Kingdom's people intruded on their lands, Pupillam has watched her Queen grow increasingly distressed. Her lights are always on so late at night. She always leaves behind food after meals.

…. Pupillam clenched her fist, if there's something she can do for her Queen, she wants to. Spare with her? Would that really help? Even if she vented her frustrations out, the frustrations, the pain doesn't disappear. It still remains.

When he noticed it was getting chillier, Allen decided to head down. He had been watching from the bridge and decided it would be best to let the general handle this matter. He was well aware of the girls frustrations and attitude, that's why he took a stroll so early in the morning. Allen had a feeling he would find her like this, practicing away, trying to get her mind of things or trying to sort her thoughts out. It seemed as though today it was the later.

When he came down, he spotted the mist kingdoms advisor and head aide. Pupillam was leaning over and watching something.

"What are you doing sneaking around for? It's unsightly."

"Uh, K--King Allen.."

Allen followed the direction of the girls gaze and signed. She must have been worried too, "As I said before. Leave Lyn to me." He understands her convictions about getting too close to the Queen. Indeed he also doesn't think it's appropriate for those with lower rank to form a close bond.

He waits for no response and made his way over. The two had momentarily stopped their sparing.

Allen wrapped his jacket around her.

"Ah.."

".."

Lyn chuckled softly, "I thought you'd join me. You've been watching for awhile right?"

"Unlike yourself, today I intended to actually take a peaceful stroll and not wear myself out so early in the morning. While I do admit that training in the morning is also good for your brain...." Allen paused, seeing that the girl watched him.

"What?"

"No, l was thinking how kind you are."

...Kind? That is not a word he would use to describe himself even now, "Please head inside, the morning air is chilly. Lyn."

"Very well."

Snow Kingdom Castle.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes the mist Kingdom's Queen raised their flags and declared war against our kingdom the moment it stroke midnight."

Manic laughter escovet this lips then, as he clenched his fist. Finally, finally that woman made a move. Taking over her dear friends body was quite risky, and he understood that eventually thestubbornness of this woman who he took over will drove him out. At least that's what he thought so originally. But three years smoothly went past with nothing happening.

It appears as though, your dear friend actually disliked you to a certain degree. Or bares some sort of grudge. Whatever it was, the woman will power is weak and she won't be able to drive him away. It's time to truly take advantage and use this body as he liked, a bright light surrounded her. The people in the room who were aware of the Queen's power attempted to leave the room. But before they could leave, they were all frozen.

What magnificent power. It truly is a blessing, this body. He has to thank Queen Lyn. If she didn't win that battle, then the plans he had in mind wouldn't be this grand.
