Velia had picked out my clothes for me. I was clad in a suit of navy and crimson. She, however, wore a bright red dress with white roses in the pattern. Most likely to honor her boyfriend, Rhoe, the White Prince. Finley, a human I'd never met, had been Dad's body when he went to Mom's former world.
That was one of the things I didn't like. Some netherlings didn't want a half-blood on the throne. I, personally, thought that Mom was the greatest Queen ever, but maybe that's just me.
V asked me for the fifth time if I was nervous, and again I lied, answering no. In reality, I was very nervous. Dad never really cared if we did something reckless, because most of the time he had to suppress the urge to join us. Mom, on the other hand... Even though she fully embraced her netherling side, she still reprimanded us, as a human would... right before she and Dad joined us.
V and I snuck down to the dungeons. They were rotting, since no one had used them since Red's reign. They stunk, too, and I felt a little sorry for Delilah. Then I remembered the little fact that she tried to kill me.
As we approached, even with the chains, she raised her arm and gave us the bird. Oh, this was going to be fun.
Sorry this was so short. I wanted to update today, but I didn't have enough time to write a longer chapter. Sometime soon, I'm going to post a MorpheusxAlyssa smut chapter. (aka how Ryd was formed.)
