"The death of the late Queen Coriane was tragic and not only took from us the time of her love, but also a mother from her son".

Sara looked from the child that stood at the King's side to the noble girls seated together.

"And while the trials of Queenstrial will not only gift our kingdom with a Queen, but a mother to both my son and the people".

Her eyes narrowed at the girl decked in navy and white jewels and skirts.

"Lady Elara"

Her fists clenched.

"Not only did you do all in your power to prevent the late Queen's death, but you have also proved yourself through the rights of Queenstrial".

The murderer stood up gracefully and made her way towards the King.

"In the eyes of the noble court, I would ask for your hand in marriage. I pledge myself to you, Elara Merandus. Will you accept?"

Sara pushed down the urge to jump up from her seat and strangle the whisper.

"I pledge myself to you, King Tiberias. I accept."

You will suffer for the blood you've spilt.
