Able Queen?

"WHAT?" 

The frost exploded in the chamber as Queen Anastasia stood up in anger from her throne. Her icy cold gaze passed over the Edko who was shivering both due to cold and bloodline pressure emanating from the Queen. 

"So he is dead? " 

She spits out harshly. It was ironic the warrior who she was tolerating only because she thought he would somehow prove useful to her, instead went out and died just like that. 

She was furious and why wouldn't she? She had already never expected anything useful from humans. She gave him a chance due to Elder's request as well as her vague hope that maybe he could provide her tribe a little help, at least as a useful sacrifice or pawn if not more.
