Chapter 19: The Great Queen Zeldae

When Brell first heard about Zeldae from Callum, she didn’t know what to expect. An evil face, hard, cruel features. But the woman coming down the steps was someone right out of a movie poster.

Clad in a shimmering black gown that contrasted sharply against her creamy white skin, she descended down the ramp that led to the Ballroom with enough presence that everyone in the room bowed down the moment her name was announced. Her gown was long enough to cover her tail completely, and it trailed behind her on the white marble ramp way. She almost looked like a human, but no human could be so stunning. Her long, thick black hair was plaited in a French braid, woven with strings of pearls and diamonds. Her face was oval shaped and she had keen, observant eyes. Her face radiated natural beauty and power. She didn’t look older than thirty, but Brell knew her ageless face was due to magic. Next to her, Valery paled in comparison. A glimmering tiara made of a massive diamond and several sapphires nestled in her hair. She was beautiful and dangerous. Her eyes, though captivating, were stone cold. There was another side to her, a hidden cruel side.

Zeldae tilted her face to the left, and made her way to a gigantic, black throne Brell hadn’t seen earlier. The throne was lined with diamonds and right at the top and centre of the throne’s head was the largest white diamond she had ever seen, the size of a rugby ball. When she moved, a black mist followed her, tendrils of black that covered everything. Her movements were lithe and graceful and her voice was crystal clear and cold.

“Continue.”

The music which had stopped before began to play again slowly, and then picked up its original pace. The nobles began to dance again, but no one was talking now. The merriness and chatter in the air had given way to a cold silence that haunted the air. Brell retreated to the corner.

So this was Zeldae. This was the person who wanted to kill Timmy. This cold, heartless, merciless creature who sat on that throne. Brell could feel hatred blossoming in her heart; hatred that would never abate. She felt like choking Zeldae. Her eyes landed on Zeldae’s neck, envisaging her hands squeezing it. A flash of blue caught her eye right then. The necklace that Zeldae was wearing was like the one Maude had worn during the procession, like the one on the front of the fountain. She scrutinised it with interest. It looked like… she paused. Certainly not. How was it possible? It was oval in shape but had the same stone as the locket that she had found in her mother’s stuff. The same fire inside it, the same mystery to it.

“Erene, what stone is that?” she whispered.

Erene followed her gaze. “Don’t look at her! The Royal Family’s leading females are given this stone. Only the royals are allowed to use it.
