His Witch Queen-Chapter 118: Queen Elizabeth’s maids!

....her hands didn’t turn green even after that.

The soldier who was pouring the water on the Princess’s hands, turned around to stare at his prince, "Her hand didn’t turn green but it might be really burning on her hands." The soldier explained.

"U-Uh?"

Cyrus turned around to look at his soldier. For the next few minutes, Cyrus’s heart stopped beating even.

There were traces of uneasiness that rested in his mind. Not only that, he appeared to be already unconscious, with his mind circling around in different directions.

Regaining his consciousness, Cyrus’s eyes once again traced Alice’s hands.

It wasn’t green but the pain that she felt was actually not controllable either.

Without thinking twice, Cyrus had walked ahead to take the water into his hand and poured the water for her to remove the chemicals from her palm.

’This must be because the chemical is mostly for the vampires...she must haven’t been able to hold it...’

With this thought, Cyrus’s lips turned into a straight line. However, he can’t help but be grateful that her hands didn’t turn green either.

"Remove the chemical with the help of a towel. And..stand with the rest of the ladies of the courtroom." Cyrus ordered and after taking a look at his expressions, Alice simply walked aside.

Surely, a sigh had escaped from her lips when she realized that there was no reaction on her hands either.

But her curiosity was still to know whether the Queen will be disclosed to everyone or not...

Whereas, Cyrus had walked back to his position to move the soldier and do the same test on the lady Sharon too. A similar outcome happened and there was no trace of the green pigment, which made her walk to the other side and stand with Lady Tia and Lady Sierra.

Next was no one else but the famous Queen.

Her expressions gave the hint that this was all but her dislike. How she had kept her plans under her shawl didn’t invade Cyrus’s eyes.

But still, she had still kept her lips sealed before he told her, "Queen Elizabeth, please give me your hand..."

"Cyrus...You know that you will regret this. If I complain to the King, he will not leave you so unharmed." Queen Elizabeth’s constant dagger gaze didn’t put much impact on Cyrus.

He only smiled at the lady, as if this is the absolute nonsense that rose in his mind, "Don’t worry, I know how to handle King’s anger too well. For now, you are in the court and as per the task assigned to me by King Almen, I will carry out my duties accordingly."

"And because of the same, you will have to obey me, no matter what. So please." were the simple words he used, leaving no stone for negation from her side.

As much as Queen Elizabeth’s blood boiled under her skin, she had extended her trembling hand further.

The hesitant look plastered on her face like any other but on top of that, she was acting a bit too cautiously. The arms of her raised were acting like her and it was noted by all the ladies present out there.

It was Lady Tia, who had raised herself on her toes whispering into Lady Sierra’s ears, "Why is she acting prestigiously? Haven’t we done the test too?"

"Haven’t you seen it till this time?" Lady Sierra commented when she rotated her head to look at Lady Tia, "She is scared. And a person is scared only if you are involved in any crime."

"So you mean to say that.." Lady Tia’s eyes bulged when she realized, and her thoughts got a positive nod from Lady Sierra as well.

Both of them moved their attention back to see Queen Elizabeth with eager gazes and found that the soldier had already bought the black tinned water and poured it on the Queen’s hands.

For the next few minutes, everyone’s gaze was settled on her hands. There was no pain in her palms but surely, it was getting harder for her to even radiate the same.

Bittinger lower lip, Queen Elizabeth tried her best to not show the impact on her face but it was getting default with each second.

But then....when the time was over, the soldier turned around to look at the seriously turned Cyrus to answer, "Queen’s hands haven’t turned green either, Prince Cyrus."

"Alright." was the sample reply he gave.

No one knew what his mind went through, and there were hundreds of emotions too to even depict to hold, ’Her hand didn’t turn then this means..she hasn’t done it by herself. Maybe through someone else?’ The thought struck his mind and immediately, he recalled Alice’s words in his mind.

Subconsciously, he stared in his wife’s direction to find that she was staring back at him too.

But her glance was containing the words, which he had hardly described. She was conveying the message, which he was at loss.

However, everyone was waiting for his next orders, which he immediately passed to, "Since the official ladies are done, start it with the maids.."

"And the first one should be Queen Elizabeth’s maids." Cyrus’s order took Queen Elizabeth aback.

She looked at Cyrus with her wide eyes bulging out, "I have already passed the test! What is the need for you to test my maids! You are indirectly putting the blame on us, Cyrus!"

"This is the protocol to follow, Queen Elizabeth." was all he answered since he knew what is easy, creating a scene in front of him. "Moreover, no one else is speaking in such a way. Everyone passed away but the maids of each and every lady will be tested. None revoked, so why are you?"

"B-because I stand for my maids! they have been loyal to me for so long!" Queen Elizabeth’s explanation isn’t easily brought up by Cyrus either.

He only smiled at the words of Queen Elizabeth as if finding that she was too foolish to even say this to his face. "As you said yourself, they are loyal to you. But what about their loyalty to the entire castle as well? We have yet to find out. You can stand on your loyalty but what about the entire Kingdom, Queen?" Cyrus asked with his raised brows

His words were so strong to even make her shut her mouth, which made Alice’s lips leave a chuckle.

Yet she had hid her mouth and covered it with her hand to avoid any kind of embrassement right now.

’She thinks she’s special? Tsk tsk, Cyrus will make you feel like others and chew on your own position easily.’ and she was kind of loving her husband’s savage attitude to all sides.

He was polite but the words were always pointing at the right wound too.

Subconsciously, she moved her gaze to find that Soldiers Had already agreed to Cyrus’s words.

Since the power resided in Cyrus’s hands tonight, there was no way any other will actually disobey him now either.

The soldier moved near the Queen’s personal ladies; there were a total of three, out of which, one was senior and the other two were generally girls of their age. The senior one remained calm and professional throughout, but the other two ladies were getting their faces paled.

A smirk on Alice’s lips as she watched the senior lady getting ahead first to get her hand into the black tinned water and then..everyone waited to find that there was no change in the color either.

"You can come to the next side," Cyrus ordered to the senior maid.

Following the order, the senior maid had arrived at the other corner and the next turn was of the next two maids. The young woman in the lane was feeling nervousness crawling under her skin.

She had gazed at the Queen, who was also blazing the murderous’s glances.

Shifting her attention to the soldier, she extended her hand, and then the water was poured on her palm. Subconsciously, the maid closed her eyes tightly to not even look at herself.

However, there was no chance to lie since the color was already visible in those palms..

"SEE! HER PALM TURNED GREEN!" It was lady Tia who shouted as her eyes caught the sight with shock. The words had blurted out from her mouth and then Lady Sierra had pinched her arm to make her realize what she had actually yelled. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At the same time, the young maid had already lost all her colors. Her trembling lips, shaky body, and blank mind were almost taking her life at that point.

Whereas, Cyrus’s eyes lifted upwards to order immediately, "Do the test on the next maid too!"

"Yes, Prince!"

Without leaving the stone unturned, the testing was done on the next maid as well, and a similar outcome arrived for both the young ladies, whose eyes were now budding out.

As both the ladies looked at each other, right through each other’s souls, both of them exchanged their glances at the same time looking at the Queen- with begging expressions.

But it was of no use since Cyrus had taken over the entire situation very fast, "We have the culprits in our courtroom! They are...Queen Elizabeth’s personal maids... So, what do you have to say, Queen?"
