SPELLBOUND Chapter 573 - Lords

Chapter 573 - Lords

Murmurs echoed again within the ranks of the soldiers as the dark faes could hardly believe what their eyes were seeing.
"Lady Zanya," Cairus approached her, "correct me if I'm wrong but this means that one way to force this type of monster to open its mouth is to blind it with light?"
"That's right Lord Cairus. This type of monster's weakness is in its eyes. A blinding light will pierce their eyes so painfully that it would make them roar." Replied Zanya and the Lord nodded, looking beyond impressed at her methods.
"This information…" he looked at the Queen who was wrapped in the white cloak behind the warriors.
"Correct. Our queen is the one who taught us about this as well." Zanya said before the lord could even continue what he wanted to say. Then she bowed at him slightly before leaving the ring.
The dark faes even voluntarily cleared out the path for her. If they were too impressed with her beauty, then they were now dumbstruck at the ability and knowledge she had shown.
It was just too unbelievable to them. The fact that the light faes and vampires knew much more about their own enemies, more than themselves was just too astonishing. For countless of years that they had been fighting against these monsters, they had never found out about all of these weak points that could be used against them. That each monster actually had a fatal weakness did not even cross some of their minds.
And yet, these visitors from the surface knew about these weak points? Just how knowledgeable were they? The warriors could no longer say anything more. Their faces were burning with shame at all the ridicule that had been thrown at these strangers earlier. They had seen the raw strength of that vampire and the speed and magic of that light fae. They were in no way weak. Not at all. How much stronger would their queen be if she had such knowledge at her disposal?
Respect now filled their eyes as they watched the visitors follow after Cadmus calmly as though all that had not happened earlier.
Evie looked at Gavrael and squeezed his hand as she smiled at him. Gavrael quietly sighed, pretty impressed as well at the way she had dealt with this. She was truly showing her capability as the Queen of the light faes. And he did not know why, but from here on, he had a feeling that Evie was going to continue impressing him.
By the time they had reached the King's tent. Evie felt the overwhelming power lingering around. It was not the same heaviness the abyss was causing. This was somewhat different. And she knew this was because of the number of gathered powerful individuals sitting inside this one single tent.
Anyone would be intimated by the sheer dark magic saturating the whole area, but Evie did not feel anything. It was strange but despite feeling the strength of this kind of power, she did not feel even a tinge of pressure. That was a normal reaction but since she had woken up from that vision, nothing could seem to scare Evie anymore.
Even the sight of the massive abyss did not make her feel any of the previous fear the moment she saw it for the first time a while ago. She realized that it was probably because this abyss right now was nothing compared to the abyss she had seen in the future. And the power that these dark faes inside this tent wield was also not something new to her anymore. She had felt more overwhelming power compared to this. And that was definitely the reason why she was not even fazed one bit any longer.
After their arrival was announced, Queen Beatrice, Gavrael, Evie, Zanya and Samuel entered.
A group of men gathered around a long table respectfully rose to their feet and greeted their queen and prince.
Cadmus then led everyone to their respective seats before everyone was seated again. Queen Beatrice sat on the King's right while Gavrael sat on his left with Evie right next to him.
"I have the honour of introducing the Queen of the light faes, Queen Evielyn." The king announced with pride and Evie stood to greet everyone. She lifted her hood back and elegantly let it drop to her shoulders before she lifted her gaze to look at each and every one of the powerful men who were seated around the table. She wore a smile as she swept her gaze across each of them.
These were the mighty and respected lords of the Under Lands. She looked at Azrael, Kione and Cairus first, then to the others. She recognized one… two…
Evie could barely keep her smile at the realization that out of these ten lords who in attendance, she had only seen and recognised two of them who were in her vision. That meant that the rest them had died earlier on before the section of the vision that was shown to her. Her heart gave a squeeze and ached as she came to this conclusion.
She tried to keep her cool as the king continued speaking.
Evie also instantly felt that half of these Lords was not as welcoming of her at all. Even though it was the king who had introduced her, it seemed as though they were barely holding their contempt back. They were only forcing themselves to behave politely because of the presence and request of their king that they were to be summoned here. Evie could not help but think that Queen Beatrice must have worked really hard when she had initially gotten together with King Belial to make these men accept and give her their respect genuinely and without being forced.
However, this did not bother Evie at all.. She had never expected that the dark faes would accept her warmly in an instant just because their king had introduced her. What bothered her more was the fact that that the man she was specifically looking for was not present here with them! It was such a shock that he was not one of the lords! Where is he then?
