Save This Land

"Get up," King Loyalor shouted, grabbing me by the arm, shaking me. "Answer me."

"Keep what's yours. I don't want any of it. All I want is to save Polly and this land and if you were smart, you would want that too," I spat, shoving away all emotions but the anger.

"She's lying," Mizrabel said. "She only came here to take her place as queen of Polonias."

My moth fell open in shock before I quickly closed it.

Mizrabel was playing the king.

That much was obvious.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked her, ignoring the king, even though my arm pulsed with pain where he still held me.

She rolled her eyes. "I'm here to help the king save his land from the likes of you," she said.

"You're the one who's lying," I said between clenched teeth and knew without a doubt Polly was right.

My mother wanted revenge. Did she want Polonias destroyed? It seemed that she did.
