Chapter 40.1: All Hail To The Queen

Third Person’s POV

NATHALIA was almost startled out of her wits upon hearing the loud alarm throughout the area. Accompanying it was a loud bang from outside.

She stood up from her seat on the bed and tried to squeeze herself against a corner. She simply stared at the door until the commotion seemed to subside before it abruptly swung open.

Cole appeared before her once again. He was sweating, and there were traces of blood on his clothes.

“W-What are you—” she started to speak, but was taken aback as he suddenly pulled her. She was left in shock as she saw three guards outside lying on the floor, lifeless.

She couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at Cole. “What did you—”

“Stephen and the others are here to get you,” he said, gasping for breath.

Nathalia blinked, her eyes welling up with tears. The hope that had been slowly fading just a while ago came rushing back. But her attention was suddenly diverted from Cole as she realized he was about to separate her from her husband. Confu
