Selinia

Selinia returned from the bath after over a hour. She had made up another plan for her little cousin's downfall, involving all those inferior suitors of her. Once she would meet any of those, they will clearly see that she was a far better leader than Isabella. They had to see that, she was stronger, more intelligent, to put it simple she was better than her. If only her parents and those old fouls that run the kingdom for now had seen it, but this false snake had put all of them under her little spell. Soon would she, Selinia Vel'Strat, rightful queen of Albakove, proof that to everyone, they all were wrong. She dried herself, thinking that her handmaiden should have done that. Why was her useless servant not here to do that for her? It's not like Selinia didn't treat her well, or that she should be scared of her. Others would surely have killed such a useless person long ago, she should be glad to have such a kind mistress, Selinia thought to herself. Without bothering to wrap her clothes around her, she stepped out of the bath. She couldn't catch a cold, she was already undead in some sense and it was her room after all.

Immediately upon entering her own room again, she noticed that her handmaiden was missing, but there was a bunch of the sheets in her form on the bed. Just as she wanted to go over and punish her for the laziness, she noticed the other most visible thing in the room, the dead body of her last night's victim. The body looked as if it was flying above the ground, even thought the blood of him still dropped on the floor beneath. That was enough reason for her to look around the room again, so she noticed the other woman in the room. Not bothering to cover herself, she instead grabbed for her sword, which was close to her bed. She didn't know, who this other woman was, but she was certainly not invited. Rage filled her eyes, as she stood in front of this woman just half a blink after that woman spoke to her. With her sword ready, she spoke in her usual manner, which more likely sounded as if she would give orders.

"I can't remember inviting you here. Don't you know, who I am?"
