Chapter One Hundred & Sixty Seven: Freedom?

Adelaide was beyond shocked.

An ordinary maid had slapped her?

She?

Daughter of the goddess?

Mother to a priestess?

"What? Does it surprise you?" the shock had blinded her momentarily so she had not seen Vallus enter the room. She looked up to see his condescending gaze looking down at her. She remembered with horror the face he had made when Artemis had been choking on his doughnut one time when they were little.

She had never completely believed that Vallus had been evil. That he would actually attempt to dethrone his best friend. That he could ever tie her up like she was a domestic animal. However as she looked at his face she realised that Vallus could do much worse.

"I thought about it Adelaide, who would be my queen if not you? I mean let us face it, you wanted Artemis because you wanted to become his Luna, wrong?" quipped Vallus.

"You are insane," she spat angrily.

He slapped her this time, very hard.
