"No matter how you put it, I still refuse… Go back to your master and tell him I refuse!" Zohar said coldly, his voice echoing with unyielding resolve.
"Zohar! At least think about your family! You don't have the backing of the Great Dragon Empire! Your father won't help you!! If you go against us, do you think you can leave here alive?" she retorted, her voice as cold as ice.
"Blood Queen Matilda… You should know who you are talking to, right?" he asked, a menacing calm in his voice as his eyes turned a shocking pure white.
'Queen Matilda? This woman looks nothing like her. Is it a coincidence that they both have the same name?' Ellen thought, utterly confused.
Matilda frowned, feeling the immense surge of energy building around Zohar. She sighed in what seemed like helpless resignation. "Okay, Zohar… I will report back to my master."
She turned and walked away. Vinous stared at them for a second, then turned and followed his Queen.
