Another Side Of The Universe

Chapter 89 : The Queen's Chamber

The Queen looked at Tirion with a troubled expression. Versatel smirked as he held the Queen's arm. 

"Versatel! Release the Queen!" Tirion yelled.

"Tirion. What a surprise," said Versatel.

"You traitor! How dare you treat the Queen in such ugly manner!" said Tirion.

"Me? A traitor? HA! The Queen has made this kingdom weak. She's wasting time playing nice in the intergalactic alliance, trying to avoid battles. She's too scared to face our enemies. We should improve our military and show the galaxy who's the strongest. Not playing house with some leeching delegates," said Versatel. 

"The Queen is working to keep the peace in our Kingdom," said Tirion.

"Peace? What a joke! Everytime our borders are threatened, the Queen always lets them off easily. We should've shown the people that our Kingdom is capable of fighting," said Versatel. 

"By oppressing your own people with guns?" Axion asked sarcastically. 

"Hmph! You should be thanking me. Sveratis will be glorious under my reign. No nation will look down on us ever again!"

Versatel harshly pulled the Queen to the balcony. The Queen groans in pain. 

"Versatel!" Tirion yelled. He tries to chase them but the elite soldiers are blocking his way. 

The elite soldiers are pointing their guns at Tirion and Axion. 

"Kill them," Versatel ordered. 

"NO!!!" the Queen exclaimed. 

The elite soldiers begin to shoot. Axion quickly summons a magic shield. A light blue magic circle appears, along with a force field, covering Tirion and Axion.

"Good call," said Tirion.

"Yeah. But it won't last. We counter-attack once they run out of ammo," Axion replied. 

"Got it."

Harsh wind raging from the window. Right outside the balcony, a ship is hovering, waiting for Versatel and the Queen to board. 

"Let's see how fast you can reach me," said Versatel. He laughs as he pulls the Queen to board the ship.

Soon, the elite soldiers stop firing.

"Now!" Axion yelled.

She quickly cast a spell. A blue magic circle appears on both of her palms. From the circle, a blue string shoots out, dismantling the elite soldier's guns. 

Tirion springs to attack an elite soldier. He swung his sword with all his might. But the soldier quickly pulls his sword and parries Tirion's attack.

"We need to get the Queen back!" Tirion yelled. 

"Easier said than done," Axion mumbled as she worked to parry several assaults. 

Versatel, along with the Queen and his first elite soldier already boarded the ship.

Versatel laugh. "Hahaha, you can never defeat me!"

Suddenly, a man jumped into the ship and caught Versatel by surprise. He swings his sword toward Versatel. But his attack was parried by the elite soldier near Versatel. He landed on the balcony.

 "Straven...." said the Queen. 

"Your highness!" Tirion exclaimed. 

Versatel mockingly smirked at the Prince. The ship's door slowly closed. The crown Prince, Stravenkov stood as he watched the ship fly away with his mother.
