Bab 200: Hail the prince (2)

The sound reverberated through the room, causing Nina's heart to skip a beat. She could feel the tremors shaking the walls, as if a disaster of epic proportions was about to strike against her.

Her eyes snapped open.

"What is happening?" The assassin asked. He furrowed his brow as a clear indication of his concern. The unmistakable vibrations coursing through the room added to his unease.

"BOOOMM!!" "BOOOOMM!!"

"RUMMBBLLEE!"

The violent noises emanating from beyond the door reverberated through the chamber, heightening the already palpable tension.

Nina, deep in thought, wondered. 'Are we being attacked? Has Queen Mavena abandoned her plan to strike at the mad King's territory in the morning and chosen instead to launch a midnight ambush?'.

Would she be able to get out of here for free?

Given her current form, would they show her mercy or execute her on sight?

Filled with doubt, Nina's appearance began to ripple like water as she transformed back into her true self.
