Chapter 451-460

Chapter 451 – Dilemma
As soon as Claudius left, Evie headed over to Queen Beatrice’s room. Her guard, Alvion, bowed when he saw her and naturally allowed her to enter into the room. The three noble ladies that were part of the entourage and who accompanied Queen Beatrice were also there, watching her closely.

Evie now realized just how protected Queen Beatrice was. As she looked at her beautiful sleeping face, Evie smiled. She looked so peaceful and even more youthful in her sleep. No wonder King Belial loved her so. No hot-blooded male would be able to resist such gentle beauty. And more so, Queen Beatrice’s personality was already a winner. Therefore, just those two factors alone were enough to understand why King Belial was head over heels in love with his wife.

Thinking along these lines, Evie was reminded of Claudius words where he said that this queen was King Belial’s greatest weakness. Silently, Evie shook her head. She thought that that statement would never come from King Belial’s mouth. Opposite to that in fact, Evie believes that the queen was not his weakness. In fact, it was the other way around where she believes this queen was the source of his strength. Because he loves her so much and wants to protect her so badly, that in itself was a mighty encouragement for him to grow stronger.

But she did not say anything about it and tried to explain her thoughts on this with Claudius earlier. First reason was, they truly did not have any more time to waste, and next was Evie understood why they would think that Queen Beatrice was the king’s greatest weakness. She thought that it must be due to the fact where Queen Beatrice could weaken the king whenever she needed to drink his blood. Even because of this fact, Evie still thinks it was not right for them to think of her as the King’s greatest weakness because she believes the queen was definitely not. And to top it all, Evie could clearly sense that Queen Beatrice was actually very powerful. Since she had just met Queen Beatrice, she was not sure how the queen portrayed herself to the people here. Perhaps she might be hiding her strength or maybe there was just no need for her to display her real power as King Belial was doing such a good job up till now to keep her safe. Whatever it was, Evie was pretty sure of her own sense where the queen had very deep reserves of power just held under great control by the queen herself.

And this was why Evie still decided to tell Queen Beatrice this secret when she wakes up. Evie was aware of the possible risks. But… for some reason, Evie just did not believe that Queen Beatrice was completely oblivious of the real purpose on why her husband allowed her to travel so far away from the capital and even without him. The queen was not a simple minded and straight lady. The fact that she could be a queen of a people of a totally different race and still remain as one beside King Belial for so long in this place just goes to proof that she was an able ruler. Moreover, she believed that in this place, Queen Beatrice would be her closest and greatest ally. And she believes that if they work together, they could do greater things and contribute to stopping this upcoming disaster.

When she left the room, Evie headed to the hall where the vampires were gathered and spent a short time mingling around and catching up with them before getting her own breakfast.

While waiting for Queen Beatrice to wake up, Evie decided to do something about Gideon. This troubled brother-in-law of hers was truly an enigma! She needed to figure him out while it is still early but… how?
