Beauty Is A Beast

"I hope you find your lesson today." The Emperor spoke before walking away, while he was accompanied by his wife and his children.

￣へ￣￣へ￣￣へ￣￣へ￣

"My Queen, you became the queen, but you're not happy. You had everything. Is this still not enough?" The woman in her huge green cloak spoke beside the Queen. The Queen didn't speak. She had a look of boredom in her eyes as she looked at the empty grand hall in the throne room.

"I need a moment of peace." She said coldly. Her eyes turning sharp the way her brows turn into knots.

"Is it because of her? My Queen, you will never be truly powerful until she is dead." Ora whispered. Her voice sounds like a devil's whisper.

"Someone, come!" The Queen's beautiful countenance twisted. The hands that were resting in the armrest tighten its grasp.

A group of royal army enters the hall. Their stoic expression and scars in their body tell others what they had experience in battle.

"I am your Queen, and I only. I am your owner, the mother of this kingdom. Show me your loyalty. Find her. If she's dead, bring me her corpse. If she's alive, kill." The Queen said in a commanding tone. Looking down at the men below with fierce gaze. She knows that these men don't want to serve her. But she is the Queen, they have no choice but to obey her.

"Yes, our Queen. We will do what you wish."

"It seems that the kingdoms elite men don't do their effort to find her or even kill her. Your men are not willing to do their job. It's been months, do you think she is still alive?"

"I am their Queen. Their law." The Queen's voice is low but it held a lot of weight. She then continued, "I don't care if she's alive or dead. I know she will definitely come back. To take everything away from me. To take everything that is rightfully hers. Her people, and the entire kingdom."

"She will take back everything...and kill me as interest." The chill in her eyes and the mirth in her lips became more palpable.

"I will kill her first before she can even make a move."

"She is still a child, My Queen. You should show some mercy."

"Mercy? Mercy is for the weak. Do you see me as such." The Queen spoke with a flat voice as her eyes glinted with malice.

"No. You are perfect, fit for being a Queen." Ora who's standing on the side smiled chillingly while she said those words with reverence.

Indeed, she is her Queen. The person worthy of her service.

Inside a dark room, a man in his armor stood inside along with two more men wearing their armor. A symbol imprinted in their c.h.e.s.t, this is the symbol of Azkaban's royal army.

"Gather our most loyal men. We will find our true Queen." He said, and the two men immediately exit the room quietly.

A minute later, the darkroom was packed by the loyal army of the kingdom.

"I would never kneel to a person who isn't worthy. I will only show loyalty to the true heir. I won't choose power just like our other brothers. I won't bow down to a witch who causes sufferings to the Princess, to our lady!"

"I won't fear a witch. I won't be subdued by her. I will only submit to miss Li Wei, serve her until my death. We are the man of the kingdom. The Queen's people."

"My loyalty is only for her. The true heir. The only daughter of King Argneel." The General said with a low and fierce voice. Loyalty and devotion is the only thing visible in his serious expression.

"General, our loyalty will always be to the royal blood."

"To our lady Li Wei, the true Queen!!!"

￣へ￣￣へ￣￣へ￣￣へ￣

"What are you going to do, my Queen? His loyalty is only for her."

"Let them be. If they want to find Li Wei let them be. He will lead us to where she is." The Queen smiled haughtily.

Back on the other side...

Li Wei is testing her spear, slicing the boulder into two pieces of rock. This weapon had never left her side ever since. Most likely, this spear had a mind on its own. Every time that she had a fight and thought of this weapon, it will appear in front of her. She remembered in the past when her blood accidentally drops on the blade, the spear vibrated heavily and s.u.c.k.e.d the blood that drips into the blade. It feels like a hungry beast that had not eaten for hundreds of years.

Li Wei flicks the blade and it created a "ding" sound. She smiled.

"Only I can wield this weapon. No one else."

6 years you had accompanied me in every battle, in every blood bath, and in the horns of the war. You will be my weapon until...my breathing stop.
