“And whereisHenrietta?” Keith asked, startling the pair when he stepped into the doorway. The construct button showed up in this room on his [Mind Map], despite Ria being obviously absent. Queen Thalia was in the process of putting on a familiar earring, her fan placed on the low table in front of her.
He resisted the urge to simply kill them now. Chloe could find out everything she needed from her undead—and wouldn’t that be just deserts for the royal couple.
“Wouldn’t you like to know.” Queen Thalia was the first to compose herself.
King Simon stood in between Keith and his wife. He stamped his boot onto the beautiful rug, leaving ugly scuff marks. He drew himself up and said, “Henri isours. I don’t know what brainwashing you’ve done, but it stopsnow, Monfort.”
“Henriettais a person. She belongs to no one but herself.” Keith walked forward until he loomed over the despicable excuse for a father. “Andyoulost any right—”
A flash of light flared around Keith, and he threw up his arms, chanting his quickest defensive spell, “[Shield].”
Unfortunately, he wasn’t hit by an attack.
CHAPTER 109
It’ll Be Alright
Henrietta
We came out into a small room in presumably the servants’ quarters, and I felt the first waves of portal sickness overtake me. That was one nice thing about being paralyzed—I didn’t have to worry about emptying my stomach from the nausea …
It was also really hard to focus while being carted around like a sack of flour. I tried calling out to Jacqueline, but nothing happened, so then I tried reading my notifications tab.
[Veralyn’s Enchanted Restraint Manacles: A modified version of the restraints designed for St. George’s Trials. Prevents access to all nonpassive Titles, Skills, Perks, Bonded, and Equipped Items. All Attribute stats capped at 15.]
If I’d had the ability to groan, I would have. Veralyn’s Enchanted Restraint Manacles werereallyhard to break. And they came with the highest debuffs any item could carry.
I wasn’t too worried, though; I’d spent a lot of time adventuring. It was just a matter of finding someone with a sword I couldborrow.
Oftentimes, I cursed that one’s character sheet skills were not useful if I didn’t think to activate them. This was an occasion I was happy that the two were separate. I had the muscle memory and practical skills of a level sixty-eight swordswoman, even if I couldn’t execute a system [Force Thrust].
I moved on to examine my character sheet.
