Tangled By Fate-Chapter 482 - THE QUEEN’S TEA PARTY

482 THE QUEEN’S TEA PARTY

Queen Isabella was having a blast.

Her enemy’s wife was cursed by the witch and the Magic Tower was vulnerable.

She was able to befriend the witches and they secretly raised a witch army behind her husband’s back and no one found out.

For her, it was a glorious day.

While drinking fancy southern tea with other noble ladies, she thought of Duke De la Pole.

She instantly frowned.

‘That stupid mutt. He couldn’t do anything and dared to disclose all the information.’

‘It was a good thing that I didn’t completely trust him and poisoned him with the witch’s curse so that he would be unable to tell the truth, or else who knows what would…’

Boom!

.....

Before she could finish her thoughts, the palace door flew, leaving dust everywhere.

The loud sound startled everyone in the garden.

The Palace maids and aristocratic ladies shrieked in fear.

White dust covered the area. The ladies were unable to see what was happening.

Thinking that a rebellious group attacked the palace, Queen Isabella was about to stand up to escape when Arthur showed up right behind her.

He grabbed her by her neck and raised her in a blink of an eye.

Queen Isabella’s feet left the ground. Fear crept into her heart. She shut her eyes tightly and opened her mouth to scream.

But how could she scream?

Arthur was grabbing her neck so firmly that she was unable to let out a scream.

The Queen’s white face turned red slowly by suffocation.

As she was passing out due to the lack of oxygen, she was thrown away like a doll.

Her majestic body touched the hard ground. She groaned in pain and was covered in dirt.

She coughed vigorously while clutching her neck. She felt like her neck was crushed.

She opened her tearful red eyes and was ready to curse whoever it was when she noticed a huge figure surrounded by a dark aura.

She subconsciously flinched.

She never saw the master of the Magic Tower becoming so angry. She could sense how enraged Arthur was.

A sense of delight cast on Queen Isabella’s heart.

‘So, she finally died,’ she came to a conclusion.

She stood up. The corner of her lips was raised slightly.

“The Master of the Magic Tower is so brave. He even barged into my palace. Don’t you worry about treason?”

Just hearing her voice made Arthur’s blood boil.

‘If it wasn’t for this bitch…’

His golden eyes glowed as this woman reminded him of Veronica’s bedridden situation.

“When someone has a connection with the witches, they are under my jurisdiction,” Arthur said in a dark tone.

Then, he raised his hand upward and instantly thunder came down.

Queen Isabella was shocked.

‘He knows? But how?’

She wondered hard but wasn’t able to come up with anything.

The moment she realized that Arthur cast a spell, she immediately grabbed a red teardrop necklace that was hanging on her chest.

Just when the thunder fell over her, she disappeared from the place.

‘I won’t forgive you! You bastard! You killed my son and now you want to kill me? I’ll destroy everything you love and I’ll make you feel the same feeling I have felt years ago!’

Arthur crudely looked at where thunder made a hole in the palace garden.

Afterward, he came back to the Magic Tower and met Ovior.

“The bitch left. She used witch’s magic,” he said.

“Excellent,” Ovior was relieved. He was worried about Arthur destroying the whole palace.

“Since she already used forbidden magic, even the king won’t be able to stop us from interfering,” he said. “What do you want to do now?”

“Don’t you know already? War.”

And that’s how the war between the magicians and the witches started.

~ Flashback ends ~

“Oh my!” Veronica grabbed her head and stayed like that for a while.

Her heart fluttered and raced at the same time.

She was on the verge of dying. The reason she woke up was because she wanted to have a life with Arthur the way he wanted.

She wanted to say that she loved him and she wished to promise that she wouldn’t be selfish anymore.

She’d rather give up on her dream than leave his side.

Dreams come and go but true love is hard to come around.

‘I neglected you and tried to run away from you while you started a war to get revenge for my sake. Say, Arthur, how am I going to repay you?’

Seeing her so quiet, others exchanged glances. Catherine signaled them to leave.

As all the men left, Catherine sat beside her friend and embraced her closely.

“Are you worried about Arthur?” she asked.

“How can I not?” Veronica stated. “I treated him badly and he went to war for me… how can I not feel bad?”

“How did you treat him badly?” Catherine softly asked. “You studied hard and worked day and night as the Mistress of the Magic Tower. Who did you take the responsibility for?

“You wanted to travel the whole world but were you able to do it? You had so many responsibilities that you hardly had time to go somewhere.”

“But… I wanted to leave him for good when he was going crazy without me. Aren’t I pathetic?” Veronica sobbed.

Catherine wouldn’t approve of it.

She said, “Not at all. How can that be? Everyone makes mistakes. Which couple doesn’t have a short moment of misunderstanding? People have it worse than that. It’s not like any of you cheated on each other or something.

“You thought what you felt was right and believed you did the right thing. Now you know what you want to do and I’m sure you can do that.

“Just like you wanted to leave him because of misunderstandings and he tried to cage you because he was obsessed. But you went over it, didn’t you?

“From now on don’t worry about those things and keep moving forward. You both can make amends. I believe in you.”

“Thank you, Cathy. Thank you.” Veronica clutched her friend’s clothes tightly and sobbed in her arms.

When she calmed down, she wiped her eyes and said, “I want to see Urulas.”

The moment she said that someone knocked on the door and came inside.

“Have you asked for me?” Urulas asked.

“How did you… were you eavesdropping?” Catherine was bewildered.

“Elves’ hearing ability is sharper than humans,” Urulas politely commented.

“I wish I had this kind of hearing ability,” Catherine told him. Then, she looked at Veronica. “Fine, I’ll leave you alone. Ver, ask me if you need anything.”

“Okay!” Veronica waited until her friend left. Only then, she looked at Urulas.

“Did you find the documents I asked you about?” she asked him.

Urulas shortly answered. “Better.”

Veronica was confused. “What better?”

“I found something better.”

“What could that be?”
