Chapter 481 - 481 HELL BROKE

481 HELL BROKE

Not understanding her condition, Veronica softly uttered, “Why…”

After examining her soul, Saint Ava stated, “It’s not good. Your life is slipping away. You are dying, Veronica.”

‘It seems like they didn’t get the cure,’ Veronica thought.

She opened her mouth to say something but her lips only quivered. She couldn’t speak.

“Don’t try to talk. You are too weak to do so. Even your soul doesn’t have the energy to utter a word,” Saint Ava said.

She felt sad for this foolish girl. She wanted to keep her safe but she kept getting out of her reach.

‘In the end, she fell in love with some random guy and is about to die…’ Saint Ava thought with her lips pursed.

“I’m sorry that I can’t save you. if your body was anywhere near me, I’d heal you,” she said.

Veronica let out a small smile. A droplet of tears fell from the corner of her right eye.

.....

She wanted to say – it was okay, there was nothing to worry about, Saint Ava did everything she could and she was blessed to have a guardian like that, she wished for nothing more from Saint Ava.

She thought of Arthur and felt a pang in her chest.

She remembered all those times they were together.

She always kept her distance and they were both busy but there were good times she could never forget.

‘Ah… I wanted to be with you a little longer. It must be my punishment for not loving you the way you loved me. I’m selfish, aren’t I? Please forgive this stupid wife of yours, Arthur… I love you.’

Saint Ava saw a bright light coming out of Veronica’s heart. The light brightened in seconds and enveloped the whole area.

The light was too pure and too bright.

Saint Ava couldn’t keep her eyes open. She automatically closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Veronica was gone.

“That foolish child…” Saint Ava muttered, hiding deep sorrow.

She closed her eyes to pray for the blessed child so that she could enter heaven without difficulties.

“She looks better.”

“Yes, her complexion is getting better.”

“Her body is warm.”

“Her breathing is normal.”

Veronica could hear whispers around her. She slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes adjusted to the magic light in the room. She noticed Catherine, Ironin, Sebastian and Urulas along with two more elves.

Veronica was bewildered.

‘Wait, shouldn’t I be in heaven right now? Why does it look like I’m in my bedroom?’

She pondered but she couldn’t come up with anything.

What surprised her more was Urulas talking to Ironin and Catherine.

‘Why is he here? What happened when I passed out?’ she wondered.

“Cathy…” Veronica called out.

Catherine was startled. She instantly looked at Veronica.

Her face beamed.

“Ah! Ver! You are awake!”

At her scream, others looked at Veronica.

Catherine jumped and hugged Veronica tightly.

“I was worried sick. That devil queen! How dare she curse you! I thought you were dead. Huhuhu!”

She bawled while hugging her best friend.

Veronica smiled seeing her so devastated due to her sickness. She hugged her friend back.

“I’m fine now. Thanks for taking care of me.”

“Congratulations on your recovery, Veronica.” Urulas bowed. He softly smiled.

Other elves bowed as well. They seemed relieved.

Catherine moved from Veronica. Veronica sat up on her own.

“I’m surprised to see you, Urulas,” she said. “What brings you all here?”

“You were supposed to meet us but you didn’t. We thought something bad might happen to you…”

Urulas explained everything in detail.

“Ah, I see,” Veronica stated.

‘For Arthur to get along with the elves for my sake…’ her heart warmed up thinking about it.

She thought about something and asked, “Oh right, Catherine said I was cursed by the Queen. What’s with that?”

“Queen Isabella joined forces with the witches,” Sebastian disclosed.

“Oh! Is there any proof of this? We can take down the queen with that evidence,” Veronica stated.

Catherine chuckled. “You just woke up and thinking about politics? You have become a fine Mistress of the Magic Tower.”

Veronica smiled. “I do feel energetic. It could be because of the Blood of the Dragon Urulas gave me. I do want to meet Arthur. Where is he?”

“He is at war against the witches,” Sebastian replied.

“Huh?? What’s going on?” Veronica was puzzled.

While Catherine brought food for her, Sebastian told her what happened after she passed out from the witch’s curse.

Arthur directly went to the Imperial Palace and used magic.

All the Imperial Guards who came to stop him ended up injured by him to the point they couldn’t get up.

The King stopped him and demanded an explanation.

Arthur glared at him and said, “That bitchy queen dared to hurt my wife with the help of witches. I won’t forgive her. I’ll burn her and all the witches with her.”

“Are you insane?!” The King roared. “How can you disrespect the Queen?!”

Even if he didn’t like his wife, he had to keep the face of the imperial family. He couldn’t let anyone disrespect them.

There were many ministers with the king but they didn’t dare to stop Arthur who was seething in anger.

“Disrespect?” Arthur chuckled.

His laugh sent chills to the ministers’ spines.

He coldly asked, “Should I respect a bitch who joins hands with the witches? Why should I respect her for cursing my wife? Veronica is losing her life.”

The King was stunned.

“Joined hands with the witch? Queen Isabelle?! Mistress of the Magic Tower is in a critical condition?”

Arthur sneered. “You have no idea what’s happening under your nose. Can you call yourself a king?”

“Arthur!” The King was so angry that his face turned red.

Arthur didn’t bother with him. “Since you can’t even control your family, it’s time I put everything to an end.”

Then, Arthur broke the ancient seal of the palace that was preventing him from using magic and after that teleported to the Queen’s Palace.

.....

Queen Isabella was drinking tea at the time but hell broke soon enough.
