The commander in front darkened his eyes deeply at Isabella who was standing in their front with her head high up like mountain. Bravery was the power of her soul. Eyes wandered around the Chitahs without faltering back. She waited for them silently and at the same time, she continued hoping that they wouldn't go against her words.

The commander of Chitahs hesitated, his claws rubbed the wet soil underneath his feet but didn't proceed forward. No matter what, she was the legal queen of their kingdom. Even though her husband no longer live, Isabella was still considered to be the legal queen because she was carrying the blood of their dynasty.

Under Isabella's unblinking eyes, the commander sighed heavily through his nostrils, retreated two steps back and bent down on his one knee in his animalistic form. Opening his mind link to talk to other Chitahs, the commander's powerful voice echoed in their ears,

" All hail the queen! "

The Chitahs were all reluctant towards the submission but didn't had any other way rather than following their commander's instruction. They couldn't go against the commander's words at any cost.

Within a moment, the group of Chitahs all had their heads bowing down in front of Isabella in submission. Isabella breathed in sigh of relief and seeked for answer to the commander in front,

" Why are you attacking my castle? What is the grudge your prince have right now?"

The commander could communicate in his animalistic form. Keeping his eyes down and head lowering in submission, the commander responded to Isabella clearly,

" Prince Shanz wanted us to attack today. We are only their loyal slaves who would die for them. Your highness, you know that we can't go against the words of Royals."

Isabella's powerful voice echoed out in the air,

" But you are attacking another Royal to prove your loyalty. Have you forgotten that I am carrying the blood of your Royal Silver Dynasty? Then for what reasons you think that you are showing your utmost loyalty over Silver Clan? Answer me! "

The commander happened to fall in dillemma. He secretly took a glimpse of her baby bump and felt wronged. Indeed she had the child of their former king and was supposed to their next ruler.

How could they impose throat on her?

The commander couldn't find a suitable reason to explain her but Isabella continued even though her throat was drying out in pain,

" I understand that you have grudges because of your king's execution but he wasn't beheaded for nothing. My brother had every reason to punish him since your king was too blind in pride. If you still think that it is justified to attack on Basarisk, you can go ahead but you guys have to pass me first."

Isabella spoke the last part of her words in firm determination and stepped forward bravely. Gulping down her saliva a little, she emphasized her words swiping her eyes across the unmoved Chitahs,

" Come! What are you waiting for? Come and kill me. End this game! I can't let my own kingdom getting attacked daily."

The Chitahs didn't approach any longer. They had been blind in the name of loyalty and didn't understand the real intention of prince Shanz. The commander of Chitahs spoke on behalf of his group,

" Apologise, Your Highness! We didn't look through the matter deeply. Indeed it is disrespectful to attack you in the name of loyalty since you are carrying the heir of Silver Dynasty. We will retreat as soon as possible."

Isabella hummed in response and watched them retreating back slowly. When they were going to dissapare amidst the darkness, Isabella stopped yelling out loudly,

" Wait! "

The commander turned his head back and looked up at Isabella confusingly. Isabella dimmed the light of her eyes as she spoke in her loud voice,

" Tell your Prince Shanze not to provoke me for no reason or else I will take action to get back what is mine."

The commander felt a chill running through his spine after her words. He understood the underlined meaning of Isabella's words and bowed out of respect. Letting out a helpless sigh, the commander assured before taking his leave,

" I will pass the words to prince Shanz."

After their departure, Isabella almost missed her balance on standing but the maid acted fast and controlled her uneasy movements.

Looking over at Siemus who was still conscious, she suggested Frenchies in a soft voice,

" Take her inside the castle and call the physicians. She should be all right since she is a tribid blooded vampire."

As if her words had taken him back to reality, Frenchies nodded his head with understanding and scooped up Siemus in his arms. While crossing Isabella, he couldn't help but speaking in admiration,

" Princess..You have saved us all today.."

Isabella shook her head weakly, eyes held complicated emotions as she replied in a deep voice,

" No, Frenchies! I was merely using my power which I haven't used for a long time."

Frenchies smiled at him weakly. Though Isabella didn't ever complain, he could understand that how hard was it for her to live with all this guilts. He cared for Isabella since he viewed her as his own sister. Looking down at Siemus's poor state, Frenchies couldn't wait any longer and made his way for the physician.

Isabella felt weak mentally and emotionally. She spoke to the maid in a low voice,

" Take me inside the castle. I am not feeling well."

The maid compelled and took her back inside her room consideringly. After she was left alone in her room, Isabella stood up to stand beside the window. The wind brushed through her pale face and wavered her emotions once again.

Tears threatened to fall down from her eyes as she murmured to the wind softly,

" Why didn't I ever realize that you were a beast behind your innocent smile? Perhaps our destiny would have been different and we would have never met each others. Now my child have to carry all the sins that you have committed so far."
