Serena gasped, struggling to breathe.

" I took you in, liberated you from the king's hands, fed you, and took care of you! I wanted to make you my queen".

" you were doing all for...your...self." She stammered." You were selfish Rufus."

He laughed viciously, still choking her." but I have no use to you now. I've got the powers I need. too bad this beauty is going to waste"

He released her neck and she fell on the cold floor.

"I'm going to slaughter you the way I slaughter the king and your family".

Serena stared at him in horror. he has grown powerful.

She struggled to stand but the weight of her neck held her down.

"I have locked your entire body, my love.." Rufus cooed." You could be my slave If you please".

" No!" Prince Philip rushed in with his men. he drew his sword, attacking Rufus and his men.

" Wonderful!" He clapped again, ordering his guards to apprehend them and forcing them to kneel before him.
