Chapter 23

23

-----------------------------

Delia was making her way down the hall, book in hand, when she began to smell smoke. She ran as fast as could into his room, but Karnelian was beyond help. His body was consumed by the joy and pride in his heart. He felt bliss in his final moments, but to those observing the scene, his was surely a painful death. Delia saw the hint of a beautiful smile before The White Lion was reduced to ash. This gave her comfort in her time of grieving. Queen Delia and the entirety of Krowne was devastated. All but one succumbed to their grief. Gwen stood strong in honor of her brother. She would rule until Delia came back to herself. But thanks to Fiaerna's Dark Plague Magic three years later, Gwenevier's stint as acting ruler was incredibly fruitless and short-lived. Krowne would slowly but surely fall to ruin.
