"Today, we have gathered to witness the punishment of the worst crime our very own queen could do," Servus announced, echoing his voice for everyone to hear. "The punishment of treachery and infidelity!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment. The Magi couldn't believe that the human woman their king chose as his queen would have the guts to betray him. The human maidens were horrified, especially those that Azalea shared a house with. Azalea, the queen whom the king loved and doted on so much betrayed her husband? Infidelity? With whom? For indeed, no one knew that Azalea had a lover. That was… if she really had a lover.
