As the queen took deliberate steps forward, her eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity, sparkling like diamonds in the fiery haze. With a swift, deadly motion, she unleashed a powerful strike with her sword, clashing with Blezi's blade in a shower of sparks.

"You!" she snarled, her voice low and menacing. "I always wanted to end you."

Blezi dodged the queen's next blow, but she pressed on, her attacks relentless. "Clearing your mother from the path was never enough," she hissed, her sword slicing through the air with precision.

Blezi's eyes narrowed, her grip on her sword tightening. She knew the queen's rage was personal, driven by a deep-seated vendetta. She prepared to defend himself against her fury, but the queen's words cut deeper than any blade. Blezi charged forward, her passion igniting into fury as she launched the attack. "Tell me, what you did to her!" she demanded, her sword flashing in the light. With a powerful kick, Blezi sent the queen stumbling back, her leg buckling beneath her. The queen's eyes widened as Blezi bore down on her, sword raised.

"She was an innocent lady, and YOU RUINED HER LIFE!" Blezi spat, her chest heaving with exertion and anger.

As she ran at the queen again, attaching with full force, queen scream echoed through the air. "She destroyed my life!"

The queen's face twisted in defiance. "You know nothing about what she did!" she screamed back, her voice shrill and desperate.

The fight intensified, swords clashing, sparks flying. The queen's face contorted in rage. "She was a bitch, she had slept with my husband!"

Blezi's eyes widened in horror. "No!" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

The queen's words poured out like venom. "Yes, she did. And I saw her with my own eyes, kissing my husband. How could I stand for it as the king's wife? She was stealing him from me. How could I let her stay in the palace after that? Tell me!" The queen's shriek echoed through the hall, making Blezi recoil. Her world crumbled around her.

"No," Blezi whispered, her voice trembling. "You're lying." She stepped back slowly, her sword faltering. The queen's words cut deeper than any blade.

The queen's voice trembled with rage, her words dripping with venom. "Your king never loved me, never adored me since I entered this palace. Only because I was from Plovdiv." She took a step forward, her eyes blazing. "I tried everything to keep our relationship healthy, but your mother... She always came between us."

The queen's anger boiled over. "So, I ordered Sebios, my trusted knight, to marry your mother. And he obeyed. But do you know what your king wanted?" She advanced two steps, her voice rising. "He never approved of my plan. So, I manipulated him, using my position and influence to make Sebios the third-highest minister. I thought this would solve the problem, but it didn't."
The queen's face twisted in bitterness. "Just a few months later, you were born, and everything fell apart. You took my son, my only child, the one I begged the gods for on my knees, praying for months on scorching hot ground."

Her voice cracked, tears streaming down her face. "You and your mother ruined everything. My marriage, my happiness, my child... You both took everything from me." The queen's gaze locked onto Blezi, her eyes burning with hatred.

Queen: And now, you'll pay for what your mother did. You'll pay f....

Blezi: ENOUGH!!!!

Blezi stood tall, her confidence and determination radiating as she faced the queen. "Shut up!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the hall.

The queen's face turned beet red with rage, her eyes bulging. "How dare you!" she spat, her hand trembling with fury.

Blezi's expression remained steadfast. "You are a pathetic, insecure, selfish mother," she declared, her words cutting deep. "You knew you were never the king's favorite. He married you out of duty, fulfilling his father's promise to your kingdom."

The queen's anger boiled over, but Blezi pressed on, her voice unwavering. "You had the chance to win him over with loyalty and honesty, but you chose to be a jealous, selfish wife. My mother was just his trustworthy advisor... a trust you never earned."

The queen snarled, her sword flashing in the light. "You know nothing!" she hissed.

Undeterred, Blezi continued. ""I know enough," she shot back. "I know my mother's integrity and honesty far surpassed your petty schemes. You tout your bloodline, but what have you done for this kingdom? Name one worthy deed, one thing you're still proud of."

The queen's hesitation was brief, her defiance resurfacing. "I... I gave birth to the prince!" she proclaimed, as if that alone justified her actions.

Blezi's anger boiled over. "The prince? Whom you're now fighting against? You wicked woman, you've never done anything for this kingdom except bear him. And you didn't even raise him properly!"
Her voice cut deep. "It was our king who took care of him, adored him, taught him. I know you never knew how to raise a child, never cared to learn. You only craved attention, praise."

Blezi's grip on her sword tightened. "I know how he grew up without you by his side, scared of you, locked within these palace walls." Her scream echoed through the hall. "I know what you truly are! Don't lie to me! You're a selfish, cruel woman, unfit to rule this kingdom!"

With one swift motion, Blezi charged forward, her sword aimed at the queen's heart. But just as the blade was about to strike, Sebios burst into the fray, positioning himself between Blezi and the queen. The sword slid into Sebios' chest, and he gasped, his eyes widening in agony. Blood spilled from his mouth.

Blezi's eyes went wide, her face frozen in horror. "Father!" she screamed, releasing her grip on the sword.

Sebios' gaze locked onto Blezi, his voice barely audible. "Blezi... forgive... me..." With those final words, he collapsed, his body crumpling to the ground.
