Chapter 16
Augusta was pacing her chamber. The time was coming...
Sixteen long years she had waited for this day. Now all she had to do was kill the prince...but how? She had finally traced his location back to the Ayorthan castle.
She could take the needle to him, but that wasn't her way.
She would lure him to her. Bait him. Only...with what?
Augusta moved towards her numerous magical objects and pulled out a glowing green orb.
"The boy..." she hissed. Smoke formed inside the orb and then cleared to reveal Jem, in a chair at his writing desk. A white rose was in a vase on the table and a letter was half finished. On the letter there was a name.
"Show me this El," Augusta commanded.
The smoke swirled and cleared once more and showed a girl of 15, sleeping peacefully.
"A girl!" she laughed. "Of course! I have found my bait."
A raven was perched on the window sill.
"Find El," she said to the bird. "And don't return until you have."
The bird flew off immediately, leaving Augusta to smirk over her plans.
This girl...she recognized her as the princess of Kyrria. If that was the case then she would be heavily guarded, with steel and magic. Yes...the Kitchen Fairy was well known in the magical world for becoming a godmother to that wench. Well known for her mixing with humans, even if they are part fairy. Being part fairy didn't make the princess special in Augusta's eyes as it did in the eyes of others. She saw only an abomination.
The young prince's birthday was at the end of March. Somehow she could abduct the girl and set a ransom exchange for his birthday. When the prince arrived at her lair the needle will draw him to it, and he'll die from the poison.
Augusta glanced around the room, and a piece of paper on the floor caught her eye. The Frellan Newsletter. A large picture of the princess was on the front.
Suddenly a new plan formed in her head, as rapidly as if she'd been thinking of it for ages.
It was perfect.
