Everywhere was calm and the people were going about their business with no worries. What were they to be afraid if with them having a king like Adelaide and his princes beside him? But little did they know that there was a looming danger coming their way.
The queen looked at the boy sleeping soundly on the bed with no sign of agitation and got up to leave. When she walked through the corridor, she called a guard and whispered something into his ear and he nodded with a smile on his face. A few minutes later, she stood in front of the three Luna's still the stoutest among them yet beautiful. The three women watched her in amazement that even though they had beauty and all they weren't as imposing as the queen. She read the thoughts of the two and smiled but as much as she tried, she couldn't get through to Nadia.
“So she couldn't help but question,
Nadia, why can't I get through you? I am aware you are neither a human nor a werewolf but you could be someone right?”
She smiled and said steadily,
I am sorry but I didn't know you couldn't read my mind. I am not of one nature anyway, I don't belong to land or sea. I am just me.
The queen nodded silently looking at her and she wasn't the only one her sister and Tilda also watched her disbelievingly. Mia had no idea as to what she was till then.
The queen then thought,
‘Since we don't know her nature, it's wise to be wary of her or should we just make friends with her?’
The two replied in their minds agreeing with her. She listened in their conversation and laughed at their reaction. When they saw her laugh, they peeped at her questionable yet she wasn't ready to let them know the reason.
The Queen then announced that, they had a game they played as Queen's to be if there were princes with their Luna's. And it was cooking and hunting, sword fighting, fist fighting and sewing and the one who won the most would be called the first Luna whether she becomes the queen or not.
She asked them if they were ready to take on the challenge and each of them nodded timidly, she then knew that amongst the things aforementioned, each had their insecurities about them.
