The Withering Palace
Page 6
He led her to Eladril, who’d also been enchanted to stay in her quarters for the last three years, but the spell was broken now and her faithful servant emerged, knowing without even asking what had ensued. She led the new Queen to her chambers to heal her, clean her up and redress her as the royal leader of all the Unseelie.
It was a glorious day for all as Queen Aveta ascended to her throne, a chair she had observed her entire life with wonder, now it held nothing but hate and heartbreak. She would never be happy here, but she had to rule, that was the whole idea of it all in the first place.
The only comfort she took in everything was that Cranston and his family were safe, deep beyond the dungeons of The Withering Palace in a place where poppies grew under the cherry blossom trees and the wind smelled of sweet honey, destined to remain peaceful forever. No one would bother them, as long as she lived, she would make sure no one knew of that place, a secret realm of Faerie.
Only The Withering Palace was privy to such a thing, and it spoke to no one but Aveta.
