Chapter 699: Turning Red

The queen's feet trembled on the shaky shell, but she still managed to stand up on her own.

"It's… it's really happening!" she spoke out loud in disbelief as for the first time in many years, she saw herself stand up.

"Mist— Your highness, are you sure? You can walk?" Joann was surprised.

"Mother?" the princess didn't understand what was going on, so she started to worry a little.

"I can walk, honey," she told her daughter. Suddenly, she felt something break inside her. 

'The bond,' she thought. The bond she had made with this strong beast was now broken.

From the Queen to the beast, the condition was to forever provide the beast with Spiritual energy until it would go up in rank. The queen had made such a vicious bond knowing that it would take her years considering the beast was already at Rank 7 when she bonded it. 

But she had to do it for the sake of healing her leg.
