The guards took Christine back to the dungeon. She looked out the window of her cell she heard people's whispers.
"I'll wager the king himself is hoping Erik will return." One man said to another.
"Why would he have chosen five am for the queen to burn? The the world will be black and grey what time would be more ideal for Erik to come and steal her away?"
Christine gasped. Could it be true? Was Erik coming to save her?
"Nadir, what am I going to do?" Raoul asked.
"What do you mean?"
"It's quite simple." A new voice said. Both men turned to see Mordred standing there. "Kill the queen or kill the law."
Raoul knew he was right. He had always wanted a system like this. Where no one could be arrested or tried without real evidence. But now if he wanted Christine to live he would have to break the law, if he let her die he would be forced to live the rest of his life with the death of his love on his shoulders. He turned to the window. They were leading Christine to the stake.
Erik where are you? Raoul thought.
