BRUGH!

The soldier threw Attendant Zyra and Queen Kenna's bodies into the Queen's Palace.

“Close the door!”

“No!! Don't close the door!! I need to see my daughter! Stop!!!!” Queen Kenna cried as she banged on the tall wooden door. Zyra, feeling sorry for Kenna, could only sigh.

“What should we do, Zyra? I won’t have another chance to meet Aria,”

“We’ll find a way to keep meeting Princess Aria, Kenna, trust me.”

“What I’m wondering is, why is Kevin just staying silent without saying anything?”

“But at least Kevin tried to answer, even though Celine influenced King Raven again,” Zyra replied.

“Yes, but in the end, we’re still locked up.”

“This isn’t your fault, Kenna. It’s all Celine’s fault. She’s the one who dared to slander you, to slander the queen of this kingdom. Celine should be the one to bear all this,”

“Right, I don’t know why Celine slandered me and dared to go this far, even though she’s already received so much from King Raven for giving birth to a child with golden hair. But why is she still targeting me and Aria?”

“It seems like Celine wants something else, Kenna.” Kenna looked at Zyra’s face seriously.

Celine, the concubine, entered King Raven's chamber with a worried and anxious expression, as she did not want to care for Queen Kenna's child.

“Your Majesty, I request not to care for Queen Kenna's child,” she said softly but firmly. King Raven raised his eyebrows.

“Why? The child still needs its mother's milk.” Celine bowed her head, but her response was filled with dissatisfaction.

“Precisely, King Raven. Aria should indeed still need her mother's milk, not mine. Another reason is that I do not wish to care for the child of a woman who still holds influence over Your Majesty, especially since her position is above mine—she is the Queen of this realm.” King Raven immediately understood Celine's meaning and smiled mysteriously.

“Alright, I will ask the Royal Maids to take care of her with formula milk and not allow Queen Kenna to meet her child.” King Raven replied, and Celine smiled upon hearing this.

Celine entered Queen Kenna's room with a sweet smile but sharp eyes and a sly grin on her lips.

“Open up! Celine the Concubine wishes to speak with Queen Kenna!” said the guard. Those near the door quickly stepped aside and opened the large, sturdy door.

“Queen Kenna, I have not come with good news,” said Celine the Concubine in a piercing voice. Queen Kenna raised her eyebrows,

“What do you mean, Celine?” Celine the Concubine stepped closer, her voice turning into a challenge.

“Soon, I will be the one sitting on this queen's throne, not you.” Queen Kenna stood up from her seat, her face red with anger.

“That's impossible! I am the lawful wife of King Raven! So you will never be able to take my place!” Kenna replied. Celine's concubine laughed lightly.

“Exactly because of that, I challenge you to a duel on the Royal Golden Field. If you win, I will leave this palace. But if you lose... you will leave the Queen's throne.” Celine's concubine deliberately issued the challenge, while Queen Kenna's eyes widened, but her response was short and sharp.

“I hope you don't accept that offer, Your Majesty Queen Kenna, you've just given birth, so it's not good for...” Before she could finish her sentence, unexpectedly, Kenna, who loved challenges, suddenly gave a different answer.

“I accept your challenge.” Zyra widened her eyes in disbelief and shook her head slowly. A sign that she didn't agree with Kenna.

“Your Majesty!” But Kenna smiled and nodded slowly while looking at Zyra.

Kenna and Celine fought late at night when everyone was asleep, including King Raven. The two of them were already on the field. Queen Kenna was accompanied only by Zyra, her cousin and court lady, while Celine brought no one with her.

Each used their wolf powers. They both transformed into strong and majestic wolves. Kenna became a large female wolf with gray fur and golden eyes, while Celine became a smaller but faster female wolf with black fur and green eyes. They growled at each other and bared their sharp teeth.

“RAWR!!!”

“RAWRRRR!!! AAUUUU...”

Kenna roared and charged toward Celine, but Celine was faster and easily dodged before retaliating with sharp claws. Kenna and Celine bit and scratched each other, one of their fur was torn out and blood began to spill onto the ground. Their fight made the ground shake. Their roars and screams turned the field where they fought into a terrifying battlefield.

Kenna fell to the ground, wounded on her back from Celine's claws and exhaustion. She tried to steady her breathing. Celine stood above her, ready to end the fight. Suddenly, Celine stopped her movement and looked toward the sound of approaching footsteps. Celine quickly transformed into a human, as did Kenna. However, Celine pretended to be severely injured and fell to the ground as well, holding her leg. King Raven emerged from the darkness with eyes full of curiosity.

“What is happening here?” King Raven asked loudly, already seeing Kenna and Celine both lying on the ground in the vast field. Celine immediately pretended to be injured and began crying. She began saying something that diverted King Raven's attention solely to her.

“AKHHH!!! Your Majesty... Queen Kenna attacked me! She said I'm not worthy to be a concubine in this palace! Look, now my leg is injured, Your Majesty...” Celine, holding her leg and pretending to be in pain, began her act to make King Raven trust her more than Kenna.

She even cried in front of King Raven. Meanwhile, Kenna, who was still injured, tried to get up and explain with her pale face.

“No, Your Majesty King Raven! She challenged me to a fight...” Kenna pointed at Celine, who was now beginning to deceive King Raven with her flattery. But King Raven was already angry and cut off Kenna's words abruptly.

“Your Majesty, can't you see? My leg is in so much pain from Queen Kenna's attack. I can't walk, Your Majesty,” Celine whined. The girl also slightly lifted her skirt to show her wound, which turned out to be caused by her power. King Raven helped Celine stand up.

“Enough, Kenna! I've seen everything! And Celine is indeed injured! You've injured Celine so badly! Are you okay, Celine? Your leg...” King Raven began to worry about Celine's condition.

“But I'm also injured, Your Majesty!” Kenna protested, but King Raven no longer cared.

“That's a lie, Your Majesty King Raven! Queen Kenna was the one challenged to a fight by Celine!” Zyra protested. Celine glared at Zyra sharply.

“How dare a maid speak up!” Celine protested. Zyra fell silent immediately.

“Queen Kenna, you will be exiled to the North Tower until I decide your punishment!” King Raven ordered the palace guards and other soldiers to take Queen Kenna away.

“Guards, take Queen Kenna to the Northern Tower immediately!” Kenna refused, struggling not to be locked up again.

“But, King Raven. There is no evidence that Queen Kenna attacked Concubine Celine.” Alvin's assistant said.

“No, King Raven! Zyra was right when she said that Concubine Celine challenged me to a fight! And I saw something strange in her eyes!” But King Raven didn't care. He ordered the guards again to take Queen Kenna away.

“Quickly take Queen Kenna to the North Tower immediately!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Kenna was taken away, and forced to leave Celine, who was smiling sweetly in front of King Raven. Even Zyra was also detained along with Queen Kenna.

“Thank you, Celine. You have proven your loyalty. But you need to be treated; I will escort you to your room,” Celine nodded politely, but her green eyes shone with malicious intent.

“Your Majesty, there is something I wish to say about Queen Kenna's child...” King Raven widened his eyes.

“What is it?” Their gazes locked.

‘What does Celine want to discuss about my child and Kenna?’
