Chapter 326: Plans to behead a serpent queen.
Lord Alexander squeezed his wife’s hand. He knew that she was itching for a chance to take revenge on Anita
and every Nithercott that had been involved in the murder of her grandmother. When the chance had come, Akia
had appeared, taking the empire by a storm and the Ridley’s retreated into the shadows before their moves
could be detected.
Sigrid in the meantwas pondering on why Lady Isolde had called Anita a serpent. If it was anything like
Romilda, the spider or Lord Benwick, the goat, then it was not good. It was now safe to say that if you were given
an animal non this content, you were bad.
"Perhaps she means it practically, maybe she turns into a snake." Cosmos suggested.
Sigrid looked at the Ridley couple. "You called her a serpent, what do you mean by that?"
Lady Isolde replied, "The nine hundred ninety nine potion baths, half of them contained the blood of a king
Cobra, the largest and longest lived serpent which was hunted by the mages. My grandmother said that it was
one thousand and ten years old. It was the god of a small mountain village which is now known as Takayama.
It was not captured just for the blood. It had hypnotic eyes and Anita ate them, absorbing their magic, creating
her own hypnotic eyes.
She was injected with its venom, bit by bit until she becimmune to all poisons and yet she can poison
others with her saliva. Her aura also changed as she fed on its flesh for a year. She has an air of divinity, and
sovereignty.
Moreover, she has the power to command lesser serpents. They say her his a den of snakes, she lives with
them and sleeps with them. People even claim that she has laid snake eggs and scall her the snake queen.
Before she arrives, all of your homes should be protected with anti-snake powder, stones and wards.
Where we cfrom, all over Medoris, people have protected their houses from snake invasions out of fear.
There is no proof of what | am telling you of course. | am only repeating what my grandmother said in her dream
and what | heard from whispers."
"There is no smoke without fire." Sigrid mumbled.
What Cosmos had suggested and what Lady Isolde’s grandmother had told her were two things that somewhat
aligned. She would rather believe than not believe.
Sigrid exhaled sharply. "It looks like the mage estate is going to have get busy immediately." She pushed her
plate aside as the chair back. "I beg to be excused." She gestured for her brothers to stand. "Let’s go to the
academy immediately." Turning to Lady Isolde she said politely, "If it is not too much trouble, might I invite you to

make a weapon that can kill a serpent queen."
"Ha!" Lady Iryne jumped. "I knew you would not allow any tiny serpents to crawl their way into our empire. If we
are beheading the snake, | want to be the one to do it. PromiseSigrid."
For the Ridley’s the conversation they were observing took a surprising turn. Nobody in Medoris dared to claim
confidently that they would behead Anita. Why did Lady Iryne sound excited and so sure that it would be done?
Perhaps they were excited because they had not seen Anita in action. There was a reason why all the nobles
fighting for the throne had not yet dared to take down the capital, it was because of the serpent queen that lived
there.
Why else were they waiting to see if the Nithercott’s would try and claim the throne for themselves? They had
the mages and a serpent queen. It guaranteed them at least a forty percent chance of victory.
"Of course mother, | will make sure that you are the one that beheads her." Sigrid tapped her mother on the
shoulder.
Lady Iryne squealed. "I am going to go and choose the right outfit for the day. What do you think I should wear?
What colors say, serpent slayer?"
"Try something in snake print." Lord Paxton suggested.
"Oooh, nice. Piss her off even more before separating her head from the rest of her body." Elowin and John
slapped their hands together in an excited high five. "Can we keep her eyes or sof her. She ate a serpent
that was over one thousand years old, drunk and bathed in its blood. It sounds tolike she herself can be
used to brew certain potions."
"Are we making people potions now?" Mauve strolled into the room with Christie and a question on her puzzled
lips.
"No we are making snake potions." Elowin replied.
"Can | calong?" East asked.
"Of course, everyone can calong when it is tto chop her up for parts." Sigrid replied with ease.
Due to the change in plans, breakfast ended early and most people dispersed to get changed or directly went
into their carriages.
Lady Isolde had gone to get changed and her husband had gone with her. As she switched from a dress to a
pleated yellow skirt, she raised the subject of the serpent queen.
"What do you think? Can Sigrid really kill Anita?"
Alexander was standing by the window which gave him a view of the part of the front courtyard. From there, he
could see his sons laughing with the Thorin brothers. A friendship had formed between the men, which was great
news for him.
He was a man thought deeply on the
future. In the fight for the golden
throne of Medoris, ine failed Win

"Alex." Lady Isolde called him, adding sharpness to her tone. "You are absentminded my darling. | need you to
focus on me.
Alexander walked away from the window, approaching her slowly. "I apologize, my mind wandered for a moment.
What did you ask me?"
"Sigrid....between her and Anita, who do you think will win?"
Alexander thought back on the
whispers about Anita and the
strength of Akia. He knew one thing
for sure, if Anita ie Eigrig and 1!
