Capítulo 199: Sullied Reputation IV

Once again, Francessa Seibert's words had inflamed the crowd. Everything made sense now. They saw it with their own eyes. Their queen was supposed to be powerless, yet she could produce fire. 

Queen Daphne must have been responsible for the fire!

What a cruel and bloodthirsty woman! To think she would go so far to win a parade!

The citizens scuttled away from Daphne with silent screams in their eyes, some of them already beginning to barricade themselves indoors as though it would save them from Daphne's wrath. The streets were once again filled with fear, this time caused entirely by Daphne's presence. 

"I didn't―" Daphne began, but everyone was too busy panicking to listen. 

She glared hotly at Francessa, who only gave her a placid, minuscule smile in response. Daphne had never wanted to reveal her powers like this, nor cause the crowd to panic, but of course, Francessa had managed to weaponize such an unexpected occurrence for her own benefit!
