Better Revenge

.

~VERA~

"That's for feigning ", Leona fired.

Her used-to-be heavenly-blue eyes were bloodshot now. It was anything but not heavenly.

I stood there shocked to the core with my right palm holding my cheeks, which seemed to be on fire.

"Leona... "

"Don't even dare let my name through those deceptive lips of yours", She spoke with scorn as she stood up.

She drew herself to her full height as our eyes locked together.

"You nitwit. How dare you lay... ", The Queen stopped on her words at Leona's raised finger.

She broke eye contact and faced the Queen with such Courage I never knew she had.

Was this not the quiet and peaceful Leona who was too trusting to believe my fake tears, standing right in front of me with so much confidence and boldness?

I would have believed this was a dream if not for my cheek which was still on fire from Leona.

"Don't tell me you are involved in this, Your majesty ", Leona questioned without fear.

What has happened to her?
