The Advisors looked at each other in amazement.
"We respect you because you're the Queen of Nightbourne…
"Even if I was not the Queen of Nightbourne," She cut in as she turned to look at the Advisor. "You will respect me."
Lorien noticed the slight anger in her voice and then gestured to the advisor to keep quiet. Isolde shifted her gaze to Lorien and a smile appeared on her lips.
"It is justifiable if you want to defend Duskbane against enemies but not against the Queen," Lorien said as they listened attentively.
Isolde took a few steps towards Lorien, her jewelry jingling as she moved. She stopped and took a deep breath. "I got reports that the Queen's healing herbs almost killed a traveler. She is a mother and her daughter could have lost her. Did you forget to tell your advisors that?"
The courtiers looked at each other, and murmuring filled the air. A devilish smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
