SPELLBOUND

Chapter 326 - Wait For It

Zolan had immediately told Evie about their discovery and that Luc was already on the other side. He also mentioned about his theory on how they could only go across the barrier once – thus, the reason why Luc was still on the other side of the barrier and still did not return.

As the vampires expected, the princess refused to just stay back and watch the barrier helplessly. She had called on Zanya for some advice and discussed on the possibilities of light fae magic that could be used to destroy a powerful barrier. Zanya had already taught her all the spells she knew but despite Evie's tremendous power and magic, the barrier remained impregnable. All of them could only gaze disappointingly at the barrier which still stood strong against all attacks.

The light faes also tried to help. They even tried attacking the barrier all at once with their combined magic when it was gathered at its peak. But it was still a futile effort on their part.

"I can't believe a dark magic this strong exists." Zanya's cousin, Zirrus commented as he shook his head. Though upset at failing to dispel of the barrier, he had to give due respect to the amount of power needed to cast such a strong spell..

"Our queen's husband is very strong. I believe he might be even stronger than Thundrann." Zanya replied.

"How could you say such a thing? Did you already meet that traitor?" Zirrus snarled and his eyes were red rimmed as he heard of that name.

"No. But I've met our Queen's husband. Compared with how Thundrann was thousands of years ago, he's definitely far stronger."

"That's the point Zanya. You're trying to compare the queen's husband to a man from thousands of years ago. Being stuck inside the crystal for thousands of years made all of us far stronger. I believe this is because our magic is stuck and remained unused for thousands of years. Not only that, somehow, the crystal had amplified our powers while remaining within it for so long. I think it was our late queen who had done something to it to help us. Now our magic is overflowing like we're volcanos, finally erupting after sleeping for thousands of years. If this is the case for us, I believe the same thing must have happened with Thundrann. That traitor should be far stronger than what he was before now."

Hearing Zirrus words, Zanya knew he had a point. She had not met Thundrann after all and the fact that Prince Gavrael went through all this trouble just to keep his wife away from the war, Zanya could only guess that it was because of an immense danger, and this danger could only be Thundrann.

"Now what I don't understand is that… why is our current queen's husband doing this to her? "Why would he go to the extent of not only barring up the queen, but all of us light faes with her?" Zirrus asked when Zolan who happened to be near them spoke.

"It's obviously because His Highness want to protect the princess by keeping her here."

"He's not keeping her here, he's imprisoning her." Zirrus corrected. "And like what her majesty had said earlier, this war isn't just to be his war alone. This is her majesty's and us light faes' war as well. To be specific, we have more of a grudge on Thundrann than he has. So, what right does he have to keep us away from this war? Moreover, our queen isn't just some damsel in distress who needed to be hidden far away to be safe. She's a queen and she's powerful too. By doing this, he is just insulting his wife and our queen in her face."

"Well, you are right. And yes, His Highness can't just decide everything for his wife like this. But the thing is… His Highness loves princess Evielyn so much he'd do anything to keep her from any harm. Even sacrificing himself for her." Zolan let out a quiet sigh. He knew the prince was fully in the wrong by doing this, but he could not blame him for taking this way. He knows how protective the prince was over the princess. He was not willing for the princess to even suffer a bruise, much less allowing her to go join a war! "I'm not saying that I approve of his methods… but I just want you all to know that our prince isn't doing this for just some simple and mindless reason."

After saying that, Zolan walked away helplessly, not knowing what else to say about the situation. Zanya and Zirrus were watching his back as he left.

"He's telling the truth Zirr," Zanya told her cousin. "I've seen how powerful and terrifying the prince is but despite everything, he really loves our queen so much. I'd even go as far as saying that he loves her more than his own life. And our queen loves him dearly as well. That's why she's not going to give up. One of the biggest reasons why she is trying so hard is because she wants to be there for him."

Zirrus sighed as they both fixed their gazes on their queen who was still zealously trying to break the barrier. Zirrus' gaze was complicated and filled with curiosity and dismay at what he had just learnt. Zanya's gaze, however, was compassionate and filled with understanding as she saw how hard her queen was trying to dispel the barrier, knowing why she was giving her all, even stopping the light faes from helping out telling them that she wanted everyone to store their strength for the war instead.

"I don't think this barrier will be broken any time soon or even later. It's just way too strong." Zirrus murmured after watching their queen going at it for a long while. It had made them speechless that even the queen's power could not seem to do anything about it. "The worse that could happen is we might never even break through it."

"Don't say that. I believe she's going to get us all out of here." The faith in Zanya's eyes gleamed as she spoke and revealed her stand. "Just wait for it, I know she'll break it. Our queen is much more amazing than you think."
