Chapter 68 The final verdict

• "I cannot believe Eadlin could go this out of control. You said she would be able to control the orb, but now it is controlling her! It is clearly controlling her! What if she had killed Edla?! What would I have done?!" Etheldreda ranted in a murmuring tone to Arturo, while biting her lips so hard in guilt till they bled. She paced to and fro the corners of the room with her long dress dragging along behind her, like there were hot embers attached to the under palm of her foot.
• "Did you see how raged her siblings were? To make things worse is that, she has no ideas of those things she is doing. She would not even be able to defend herself, if they would persecute her for being vicious towards her sister. Things are getting ruined slowly. The feast is just in few days. What am I going to .........."
• "Can you just shut up and act like the queen that you are, Dreda," Arturo's dulcet and calm voice chided, like there was barely anyone uttering out a word. He was sitting on the same chair that he always sat as usual, with his eyes intent on the big book that was in grasp of his both thumbs and other fingers. The queen's unnecessary chattering was beginning to irritate him.
