Elora sat in her office chamber, signing important papers and documents. It had been three days now since Dianne had moved back to Lustillia. Elora had made sure she had gotten an estate in the east town Mírza as the representative of the house of The Telight. It had been named after Miríel, wife of Aranel Starlight after her death.
Elora signed her name down on a document when there was a light knock on the doors to her office chambers. "Come in," she responded softly. Her Lady Marianne entered the office with a tray of tea. "I thought you wanted something soothingly," she explained. Elora smiled gently. "Thank you, Marianne, my friend," she said and Marianne poured up some tea in a cup to her before leaving the office.
Elora took a sip of her tea before continuing signing papers.
Some hours later, Elora had finally finished her paperwork when there was a knock on the doors to her office. "Enter," she said and Lord Eldridge entered the office. "The King is asking for you, My Queen," Elora smiled weakly. "Then I shall go and see him," she said and stood up. Just then, she felt her body aching and she started feeling dizzy and cold. "Ahh," she let out a sign of pain and Eldridge looked at her worriedly. "Elora? My Lady, are you alright?," he asked worriedly. Elora walked over towards him when she put her right hand on the wall to support herself. "My Lady!," Eldridge exclaimed worriedly. Elora looked up at him. "Go! Fetch the King! Hurry!," she exclaimed. Eldridge looked at her and shook his head. "I'm not leaving you in this condition, Elora," he protested. Elora looked up at him. "I'm ordering you as your Queen! GO!," she exclaimed and then started coughing. Eldridge hurried out of the room and Elora took a step forward before she collapsed onto the floor. The guard outside the doors hurried over to his Queen. Elora laid on the floor motionless with her eyes completely shut. "My Queen!," the guard exclaimed, putting his hand gently on her arm. "The Queen has been poisoned!," the guard yelled, "Get a healer!,"
More guards came running into the office and Eldridge soon came running with Eroan. What was not meant to happen had happened. Elora was dying.
