That night king Sheamus was throwing a party and Serena was the guest of honour. This was done every year. The winner should have a last night with good food and drinks and a real bed to sleep in. She might not live another day. The past five years had proven this party important since the queen was still reigning after all this time.

King Sheamus and his reigning queen had no idea of knowing that Serena had an ace up her sleeve. She wasn't about to wait till next day. The queen fought dirty and normally brought in a weapon of some kind. That's how she had been able to survive for five years straight. The girls facing her never had a weapon. Serena wasn't about to let that happen to her too.

Food and wine was brought in. The royal taster tasted everything to make sure it wasn't poisoned. King Sheamus and his queen didn't know that the royal taster and Serena knew each other. The royal taster was her brother.

When she was brought to the battle, she only got to keep her first name. No one cared about what family you were from or who you knew. If you went on to become the queen, you were considered a part of the king's family from then on.

After her brother had tasted everything, he went to serve the food and wine to the king and queen. No one noticed that he poisoned the queen's wine after having tasted it. The queen wasn't suspicious at all. She had just seen him taste it. Serena kept her eyes firmly at the queen.

A little while passed and then the queen finally raised her glass and tasted the wine.

"1... 2... 3... 4... 5..." Serena started counted in her head.

She knew the poison was fast. The queen got a weird look on her face. Serena slowly got up and walked to the guy who was carving out the pork, still counting.

"6... 7... 8... 9... 10..."

It made a loud noise as the queen suddenly stood up with such a force that her chair flipped over behind her. Everyone's eyes went straight for her. Her palms were on the table while she was trying to breathe.

Serena snapped the knife out of the carver's hand and quickly ran towards the table. No one noticed her before she was directly behind the queen. She pulled her head back by the hair and slit her throat. Blood was pouring out. Serene let go of the queen's head and the queen's body just fell to the table lifeless. Serena slammed the knife down into the table right next to the queen's head. She looked at king Sheamus.

King Sheamus looked back at her and then slowly stood up.

"All hail queen Serena," he shouted out in the room.

The crowd starting clapping. King Sheamus went over to Serena and took her in his arms.

"Allow me to show you our bedroom, my queen," he said.
